GridDB: A Data-Centric Overlay for Scientific Grids

Summary: GridDB is a data-centric overlay for scientific grids, moving away from process-centric middleware to manage data entities and workflows. It offers declarative query interfaces, type-checking, interactive query processing, and memoization, with a prototype that validates physics/astronomy analyses.
