Grid Middleware Framework for Science Data Processing, Information Integration and Retrieval
Apache Object Oriented Data Technology (OODT) is the smart way to integrate and archive your processes, your data, and its metadata. OODT allows you to:
Generate Data
Process Data
Manage Your Data
Distribute Your Data
Analyze Your Data Allowing for the integration of data, computation, visualization and other components.
OODT also allows for remote execution of jobs on scalable computational infrastructures so that computational and data- intensive processing can be integrated into OODT’s data processing pipelines using cloud computing and high-performance computing environments.
Components of OODT
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
Why OODT?
Traditional processing pipelines are commonly made up of custom UNIX shell scripts and fragile custom written glue code. Apache OODT uses structured XML-based capturing of the processing pipeline that can be understood and modified by non-programmers to create, edit, manage and provision workflow and task execution.
