CaGrid: An Enterprise Grid Infrastructure

caGrid is open source grid software infrastructure aimed at enabling multi-institutional data sharing and analysis. caGrid supports a wide range of use cases in basic, translational, and clinical research. Key innovations in caGrid support large scale, secure, semantically meaningful data sharing and analysis. caGrid also provides enterprise tools and services for the development and management of caGrid services and applications. The most recent version of caGrid, version 1.3, represents the sixth major release of caGrid since early 2005. This poster will present a general overview of caGrid, its architecture, and highlight its salient components. Its specific features relevant to information exchange in health informatics will be discussed, as well as ongoing work relevant to provide interoperability with the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN).
