Development of Agent-Based Knowledge Discovery Framework to Access Data Resource Grid

Knowledge discovery from heterogeneous data sources available on Data Grid environment is a challenging research and development issue. This paper covers all aspects of the knowledge discovery process and integrates this process with service-oriented gird application supported by agent framework for university domain. The GGF (Global Grid Forum), Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), and its associated specifications define consistent interfaces through web services to components of a grid infrastructure. The architecture presented in this paper, shows how different heterogeneous data resources in university domain are integrated via OGSA-DAI framework and how knowledge discovery process is performed in distributed data resource environment by using multiple task agents.
