Accessing the EGSO Grid through a WSRF-Enabled API
Abstract
EGSO is part of the Virtual Solar Observatory. It provides a Grid for integrated access to distributed and heterogeneous solar data archives. Here we describe the motivation and approach we have chosen to implement the Grid access as a stateful web service. Using this kind of service allows us to consider the search and retrieval of data as an interaction between the client and the Grid. This way, the EGSO service can be merged into interactive data analysis systems such as Python or IDL.
