The Challenges of Data Integration for e-Science

A brief review of e-Science demonstrates the central role of data. In today's projects, scientists expend significant effort integrating data from geographically distributed heterogeneous sources. Our goal is to build a plug & play collection of components that will greatly facilitate data integration. These components use the open grid services architecture. Interesting questions arise about how to automate and optimise data integration. Can we expect to make these processes trustworthy and will scientists adopt this approach?
