The Virtual Data Grid: A New Model and Architecture for Data-Intensive Collaboration
Summary: Virtual Data Grid: typed datasets and explicit derivations as first-class citizens for scalable provenance tracking and on-demand re-materialization of derived data. Integrates with existing DBs/tools and Grid schedulers; Chimera prototype shows provenance-driven computation planning for HEP/astronomy. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
