The research of a semantic architecture in meteorology grid computing

Abstract

Meteorology is a complex, interdisciplinary area. Meteorology Grid Computing tries to offer a flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing and problem-resolving environment by making good use of semantic grid ideas. In this paper, a semantic architecture in Meteorology Grid Computing is presented. With the architecture, we firstly discussed the Semantic Computing Service according to the semantic descriptions of grid computing resource. Then Semantic Data Access Service is illuminated by constructing automatic metadata mapping, which provides users with the convenience to quickly access data storage facilities in on-demand manner. Finally, Meteorology Grid Expert System is presented, and it will offer meteorology knowledge environments to facilitate the forecasters and scientists with analyzing the future weather situation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
