LinK-Up Project

LinK-up project - e-Science sisters programme

The e-Science Core Programme, managed by EPSRC on behalf of the other Research Councils, funded travel and networking projects to establish links with leading Grid/e-Science projects from around the globe.

LinK-up "links up"

The myGrid project - project director and LinK-up contact Carole Goble, with
the BIRN, SEEK and GEON projects at SDSC USA - LinK-up contact Bertram Ludaescher, and
the GriPhyN and SCEC/IT projects at ISI, USC, USA, - LinK-up contacts Yolanda Gil and Ewa Deelman
The Virtual Data Toolkit project at the University of Chicago, USA - Link-Up contact Yong Zhao
The EGEE project (Enabling Grids for E-SciencE). An EU project of 27 countries - Link-Up contact Tristan Glatard
The Toolbus/Pathport project at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute - Link-Up contacts Bruno Sobral, Dustin Machi and Rebecca Will
The Virtual Laboratory for e-Science (Vl-e) at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Link-Up contacts Marco Roos and Scott Marshall
The BioMOBY project at the iCAPTURE Centre, University of British Columbia, Canada - Link-Up contacts Mark Wilkinson, Ben Good and Edward Kawa
The Blueprint Group at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada - Link-Up contact Ian Robertson
The Virtual Laboratory for e-Science at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Link-Up contacts Marco Roos and Scott Marshall
The Triana project at the University of Cardiff, UK - Link-Up contact Ian Wang
The Hunter Lab at the Center for Computational Pharmacology, University of Colorado, USA - Link-Up contact Ian Wilson

These projects are undertaking research and development on data and knowledge intensive e-Science applications, with many aspects in common. Similar approaches, include:

adopting scientific workflows as a means of interoperating resources;
grid-enabled data integration and mediation using semantics; and
managing the metadata required for intelligent integration by means of advanced knowledge techniques exploiting ontologies.

They are pioneers of the so called Semantic Grid – intelligent infrastructure through the application of Semantic Web and Knowledge-Based technologies to Grid middleware and Grid applications.
