A Data Translation Service in Semantic Grid Environment

Semantic grid, the cross field of semantic web and grid computing, has received significant attention recently. Our workgroup develops a resource management semantic grid - RM-Grid to enhance information process accuracy and efficiency in semantic heterogeneity environment. This paper describes the architecture of RM-grid, mainly introduces the data translation service of RM-Grid. It puts forward an ontology based common semantic model and an XML based data model, presents the data translation algorithm between different data sources and an adapter framework for accessing distributed heterogeneous resources as well.
