D4Science
* The first major milestone of the Service Activities (MSA1.1 Production
Infrastructure) has been reached. The production infrastructure includes sites from project partners CNR, ESA, NKUA, UNIBAS, ENG, BDM-USTRATH, and one non-partner site from Trinity College Dublin (EGEE prod). It runs the gCube software v1.0 and gLite v3.1. The infrastructure hosts a large amount of data, organised in 8 data collections, from the Environmental Monitoring community, and it supports one Virtual Organization (ImpECt) organized in three Virtual Research Environments (Digital Library, Vegetation, Demo) for production and dissemination purposes.
Deliverables:
* CERN reviewed BalticGrid-II DNA2.2 Dissemination Roadmap
Official Documents:
* Updated versions of the BalticGrid-II and GridTalk Consortium Agreements sent to Legal and Finance services for review
