The continuous blending of boundaries between personal and corporate data leads to overall enterprise information and knowledge pervading not only common but personal data sources. To fully sharing potentially useful information within entire enterprise, there are growing needs of a generic, interoperable, and flexible infrastructure to integrate and coordinate information across corporate and individual desktops on semantic or knowledge level. In this context, we introduce ESD, a desktop information sharing infrastructure based on Semantic Grid vision to achieve adaptive and intelligence information sharing across enterprise corporate and personal desktops. A primary framework for ESD is introduced based on the analysis of key criteria in realizing the vision of an infrastructure for information sharing, management, searching, and navigating on desktop grid. Focuses of this position paper are placed on the background, vision and the outline of ESD approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To overcome the challenges of EII (Enterprise Information integration), we propose SGII which is the first system undertaking research at the intersection of semantic grid and P2P data integration, exploiting their strengths in a common framework, and expanding their applicability in the area of EII. We first discuss how the P2P and semantic grid technologies can drive current EII systems to a new decentralized, flexible, scalable system based on a short survey of the state of the art of EII and its current challenges. Then, through a discussion of the fundamental formal architecture in general and its components in particular, we depict the basic integration principles from both P2P and semantic grid perspectives. The key contributions of this paper are a P2P semantic grid service oriented framework for EII, which mainly consists of three semantic grid services (data peer, semantic peer and application peer services); basic integration principles, which is compatible with OGSA-DAI infrastructure and P2P data integration paradigm; and added value over the state of the art of EII.

To fully leverage the information from different data sources and applications, an enterprise needs a generic, interoperable and flexible infrastructure to integrate and coordinate information across back-end data sources on semantic level. Through undertaking research at the intersection of the Semantic Web and Grid, the Semantic Grid expects to establish a semantic interconnection environment to effectively organize, share, cluster, fuse, and manage globally distributed versatile resources. In this context, we introduce SGII, an EII (Enterprise Information Integration) infrastructure based on Semantic Grid vision to achieve adaptive and intelligence information sharing. A survey of existent solutions is made to provide evidence of the benefits from Semantic Grid in the context of integration and interoperation of enterprise information. A primary architecture for SGII is introduced based on the analysis of realizing the vision of an infrastructure for semantic information integration on grid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
