The physiology of the grid: An
Open Grid Services Architecture for distributed services integration", Open Grid Service Infrastructure Working Group.
At its core, grid computing is based on an open set of standards and protocols--e.g.,
Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA)--that enable communication across heterogeneous, geographically dispersed environments.

Because ThinkControl is based on Sun's J2EE Java standard and the evolving
Open Grid Services Architecture (standard), LeBlanc said he expected the integration of Think Dynamic's products into the IBM portfolio would be very quick.
IBM announced that its Grid offerings are designed to operate in a heterogeneous environment and will incorporate the
Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), as well as the Globus Toolkit 3.0, the first OGSA-compliant Grid middleware.
United Devices has announced support for the new
Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) standards specification effort.
The Globus project's Open Grid Services Architecture (see www.globus.org) is where web services meets the grid (see below, Grid computing).
In late February 2002, IBM and the Globus Project, an open source R&D effort designed to provide the necessary middleware for grid computing, introduced the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), a set of specifications and standards to combine the benefits of grid computing and web services.
The
Open Grid Services Architecture Data Access and Integration (OGSA-DAI) [3] is another and very interesting project concerned with constructing middleware to assist with access and integration of data from separate data sources via the grid.
The portal has a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) framework built on the layer of OGSA (
Open Grid Services Architecture) and OGSA-DAI (
Open Grid Services Architecture Data Access and Integration) middleware.
