Current Status
 Simple
ontology for describing optimisation
process
 CFD and optimisation code wrapped as web
services
 Computations run on Condor web service
 Automatic web service message logging, user
information logging
 Web based queries to databases
 Visualization of the data using SVG web service
Automatic web service message logging

Generate mapping from XML Schema -> DB schema
Extract data from XML into DB structure using mapping
Send SQL INSERT statements to DB
Future Directions (1)
 Wrap
databases as web/Grid services
 Query interface to distributed databases
(ontology based)
 Knowledge assistance in optimisation and design
decision making
 Data mining
 Evolution of database schema – to cope with
WSDL changes
Future Directions (2)
 Investigate
native XML DBMS as alternative to
relational
 Work flow management (WSFL, etc.)
 Distributed file access (Grid-ftp)
 Security
