Summary
Description of the profile
There are numerous data repositories on the web today. These data repositories contain essential information that must be accessible to services in the ecosystem. As a result, caGrid 2.0 must provide capabilities to integrate these external repositories into the grid with the assumption that the remote service cannot be changed.
Aspects of external repository include:
- Search for services, policies, and other artifact descriptions accessible via some repository mechanism

There are numerous data repositories on the web today. These data repositories contain essential information that must be accessible to services in the ecosystem. As a result, caGrid 2.0 must provide capabilities to integrate these external repositories into the grid with the assumption that the remote service cannot be changed. The semantic infrastructure will support integration with other metadata repositories, allowing the platform to leverage the semantic infrastructure for federated metadata discovery and analysis. The federated data query capabilities will be implemented by the platform. Link to use case satisfied from caGRID 2.0 roadmap: The oncologist searches both TCGA glioblastoma data as well as de-identified data that has been added by care providers around the country. The additional data sets are external data repositories. |

Description
One or more discovery mechanisms that enable searching for artifacts that best meet the search criteria specified by the service participant; where the discovery mechanism will have access to the individual artifact descriptions, possibly through some repository mechanism.
