The RGIS research group serves researchers who are leveraging the
strengths of the relational data model for defining, communicating,
recording, and querying static and dynamic Grid information. It has
its roots in a task group under the Grid Information Services (GIS)
Working Group and in work on relational approaches to performance data
within the Grid Performance Working Group. The relational services
the group explores are intended to be complementary to the
non-relational services being developed within these other groups. If
the research conducted by this group is successful, a new working
group will be formed to create standards for interoperability.
