Hi, We are pleased to announce the release of our new software Semantic MDS (S-MDS) TP1. S-MDS is a Semantic Metadata Discovery and Monitoring system implemented on the top of the Globus Toolkit 4 (GT4). It is an information system that uses semantic web technologies to semantically describe grid resources (services) so that they can be more efficiently and effectively discovered and monitored. The software does not require any change to the (targeted/monitored) grid resources so that it can "peacefully" work with your grid resources. S-MDS harvests many semantic web technologies but it does not require users to be familiar with the technologies. It provides the following management and query tools for supporting the users. * S-MDS wizard and tools for easy creating, enriching and registering the semantic metadata. * A GUI-based query client for easy constructing a (SPARQL) query. This tool also includes a monitoring client that periodically pulls data from the repository and presents the data in a graphical view.
