GPIR

The Grid Portal Information Repository (GPIR) provides portals and other potential clients with a data persistence needs. Perhaps most fundamentally, GPIR provides a place to store data about your grid that is readily accessible to a portal application. This includes both dynamic data and "human-centric" data (such as where a resource is located or whom to call for support):

• "dynamic" machine-oriented data is updated via a Web Service called the "GPIRIngester" and data reads are performed via the "GPIRQuery" Web Service.
• "human-centric" data is managed through the GPIR Administration client which is a standard web application accessed via a browser.
