AB  - This paper presents a status report on some of the highlights that have taken place within the OGSADAI project since the last AHM. A description of Release 6.0 functionality and details of the forthcoming release, due in September 2005, is given. Future directions for this project are discussed. This paper also describes initial results of work being done to systematically benchmark recent OGSADAI releases. The OGSA-DAI software distribution, and more information about the project, is available from the project website at www.ogsadai.org.uk.

AB  - Data Access and Integration (DAI) of data resources, such as relational and XML databases, within a Grid context. Project members also participate in the development of DAI standards through the GGF DAIS WG. The standards that emerge through this effort will be adopted by OGSA-DAI once they have stabilised. The OGSA-DAI developers are also engaging with a growing user community to gather their data and functionality requirements. Several large projects are already using OGSA-DAI to provide their DAI capabilities. This paper presents a status report on OGSA-DAI activities since the last AHM and announces future directions. The OGSA-DAI software distribution and more information about the project is available from the project website at http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/.

AB  - This paper describes the experiences of the OGSA-DAI team in designing and building a database access layer using the OGSI and the emerging DAIS GGF recommendations. This middleware is designed for enabling other UK e-Science projects that require database access and providing the basic primitives for higher-level services such as Distributed Query Processing. OGSA-DAI also intends to produce one of the required reference implementations of the DAIS specification once this becomes a proposed recommendation and, until then, scope out their ideas, provide feedback as well as directly contributing to the GGF working group. This paper enumerates the issues that have arisen in tracking the DAIS and OGSI specifications whilst developing a software distribution using the Grid services model; trying to serve the needs of the various target communities; and using the Globus Toolkit OGSI core distribution. The OGSA-DAI software distribution and more details are available from the project web site at http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/.
