CIMA Ontology
CIMA, the Common Instrument Middleware Architecture, is developing ontologies for an instrument services architecture.
CIMA is aimed at "Grid enabling" instruments as real-time data sources to improve accessibility of instruments and to facilitate their integration into the Grid. They are developing semantic metadata (in OWL/RDF) using a web-based tool, so that the semantic metadata can be used to drive the WSDL/SOAP middleware.
