OMII-Europe: May 2006 - April 2008
OMII-Europe ran from May 2006 until April 2008 and was funded under Framework 6 of the European Union's Research Infrastructures priority. This site is the main point of reference for information about the project but is no longer maintained on a regular basis.
OMII-Europe project summary
The Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute for Europe (OMII-Europe) has delivered a collection of re-engineered components that enable interoperability between three of the main grid platforms in use in Europe, namely UNICORE, gLite and Globus. At the heart of the project was a pilot investigation into the viability of achieving interoperability between key grid platforms.
Components were reengineered using open standards, primarily those being developed within the Open Grid Forum (OGF). The components have been implemented by a number of e-Science research projects across a variety of existing infrastructures and have also been adopted by grid platforms such as UNICORE for distribution with future releases. The two year project received 5M Euros under Framework 6 of the European Union Research Infrastructures priority and was completed in April 2008. The eight funded European partners were augmented by eight unfunded partners from the United States and China. A successful outreach drive coalesced the technical developments, support, training and quality assurance process in to a strong brand that will provide a foundation for future work on grid-related interoperability in the European Research Area.
