OGC OGF MOU

Now, in English: The Open Geospatial Consortium has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Open Grid Forum, "a community of users, developers, and vendors leading the global standardization effort for grid computing."

The initial goals, per Grid Today:

- Integrate OGC's OpenGIS Web Processing Service (WPS) Specification with a range of "back-end" processing environments to enable large-scale processing. The WPS could also be used as a front-end to interface to multiple grid infrastructures, such as TeraGrid, NAREGI, EGEE and the United Kingdom's National Grid Service. This would be an application driver for both grid and data interoperability issues.
- Integration of WPS with workflow management tools. OGF’s SAGA draft standard is where multiple WPS calls could be managed.
- Integration of OGC federated catalogs/data repositories with grid data movement tools. OGF’s GridFTP is one possibility that supports secure, third-party transfers that are useful when moving data from a repository to a remote service.
