Abstract
Many data grid applications manage and process huge datasets distributed across multiple grid nodes and stored into heterogeneous databases; e-Science projects need to access widespread databases within a computational grid environment, through a set of secure, interoperable and efficient data grid services. In the data grid management area several projects aims at addressing these issues providing different solutions and proposing a set of data access and integration/federation services.
In this paper we present the GRelC Data Access, a WS-I based data grid access service developed by SPACI Consortium and the University of Salento. Its architectural design is discussed and experimental results related to an European testbed are also reported.
