is a grid middleware framework for science data processing, information integration, and retrieval.

OODT is used on a number of successful projects at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology, and many other research institutions and universities, specifically those part of the:

• National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) project - over 40+ institutions all performing research into discovering biomarkers which are early indicators of disease.
• NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) - NASA's planetary data archive, a repository and registry for all planetary data collected over the past 30+ years.
• various Earth Science data processing missions, including Seawinds/QuickSCAT, the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, the NPP Sounder PEATE project, and the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission.

OODT is middleware for metadata:

• Transparent access to distributed resources
• Data discovery and query optimization
• Distributed processing and virtual archives

OODT is a software architecture:

• Models for information representation
• Solutions to knowledge capture problems
• Unification of technology, data, and metadata
