GIR Working Group
June 28, 2005
GGF8, Chicago

Presenters:
Gregory Newby (Arctic Region Supercomputing Center)

The session started on time, with 7 people in attendance.

Dr. Newby presented an overview of the GIR status, including the document status and an introduction to information retrieval on the Grid.

Dr. Paul Kim of Dongkuk University presented a new implemetation of GIR-WG, which used the precepts from the requirements document as a basis for an architecture. The implementation focused mostly on query processing, but also had elements of indexing and collection management. The implementation featured re-tasking individual computational units depending on the demand for each of these three main functions.

Attendees were invited to attend the community session on information retrieval, presented by a representative of DeepWeb Technologies, which runs science.gov with a similar structure to the GIR-WG structure.

The session ended on time, with an invitation for attendees to make sure they are on the gir-wg mailing list.
