Collaborative innovation in Inteli. Grid … • Dynamic collaboration of experts across Europe to create products or • • services – through a dynamic virtual organization (VO). VOs need to share a common item of work - the virtual product - the data about the to-be-built and the as-built product (here in the ACE sector). Inteli. Grid is developing an information infrastructure for such organizations using grid and semantic technology. grid semantic interoperability virtual organization Directorate-General Information Society and Media – European Commission Unit Grid Technologies Cracow Grid Workshop ‘ 06 – 16 October 2006 10

Inteli. Grid Results • the Inteli. Grid Platform with • • Portal, Document Management, Business Object Services, Directory and Infrastructure Services.
