Work with Us

The OGSA-DAI team at Edinburgh welcomes potential collaborators interested in using OGSA-DAI in specific application or research projects.

Contact us at info@ogsadai.org.uk.

We also welcome communications about your requirements for what the OGSA-DAI product should do. These can be either functional or non-functional. For example:

• Extending the range of supported data resources in OGSA-DAI, e.g. Microsoft Access, Fedora, Excel spreadsheets, custom file formats,...
• Extending the range of activities, e.g.
  • Additional activities for XMLDB resource and collection management or running XUpdate statements.
  • Additional activities for file system resource managemenet, e.g. create, delete, and modify files.
  • Additional activities for data transformation and integration to realise data integration scenarios.
• Extending support for security infrastructures, e.g. use of OMII-UK WS-Security.
• Extending the types of data handled by OGSA-DAI, e.g. support for XML streaming via use of XML events.
• Extending the range of clients, e.g. GUI-based workflow editor and submission client, a GUI for interacting with relational and XML data resources.
• Extending support for Web services standards.

If you are planning to or are using OGSA-DAI then we would love to know about it. Please e-mail info@ogsadai.org.uk with the name of your project and a brief description of what the aims are, how OGSA-DAI fits into these and how OGSA-DAI might be extended or modified to support these aims.
