| + EcoGrid is a next generation internet architecture for data storage, sharing, access, and analysis. It combines the features of a Data Grid for storage of ecological data and a Compute Grid for analysis and modeling services. The EcoGrid allows scientists access to ecological, biodiversity and environmental data and analytic resources (such as: data, metadata, analytic workflows and processors) networked at different sites and at different organizations via the internet. |

It is a collection of distributed ecological, biodiversity and environmental data and analytic resources (data, metadata, analytic workflows and processors) possibly at different sites and in different organizations connected by a network and accessed via the internet. |

| - By extending the expressiveness of service description languages (e.g., WSDL [1], WSFL [2]) for enhancing data and analytical service Grid capabilities the ecogrid will result in an integration of data-, compute-, and service-grids for ecology. |
| + !! Current status |
| + |
| + The EcoGrid has been designed as a series of Grid-service programming interfaces that accomplish seamless access to data via standardized service APIs. These lightweight APIs cover capabilities that allow client applications to query the distributed system, retireve metadata and data results, and write new and updated metadata and data back into the grid nodes. Four systems have implemented the EcoGrid service interfaces, including the KNB Metacat, the DiGIR system, the Storage Resource Broker, and the GEON Data Portal. Further refinements of the programming interfaces are being designed and tested before the initial release of the EcoGrid APIs. |

| + The EcoGrid client library has been used by the Kepler scientific workflow system to access ecological and biodiversity collection data. |
