A Data Grid System Oriented Biologic Data

Data grids have become an important emerging platform for managing and processing high throughput distributed data today. Especially in the biology field, many research groups freely share their own experiment data and results, which obtained at the high experiment cost. This paper presents a data grid named BD-Grid to provide a data platform, which integrates the heterogeneous distributed biologic data resources seamlessly and easily, and allows authorized users to access via a number of protocols and interfaces. All the metadata are classified into the related domain on this BD-Grid. The users can find their interesting data with ease. We also launch a friendly web portal, through which the users can browse the interest data without regard to detail about it. In the end, some key implementations of the BD-Grid are given and the workflow is described in detail.
