Introduction

Motivation
The challenge of integrate spatial databases spread around a
computational grid

Objectives
Aggregate new functionalities to an extensible SDBMS that
permit it to act as a platform to study distributed spatial
databases in computational grids.
This platform should:
 Be capable of interact (by itself) with other analogous platforms
in a grid
 Offer some level of transparencies [Özsu and Valduriez 1999]:
• Data independence
• Network transparency
• Replication Transparency
Be modular to permit focus only in experiences being developed
 Be capable of exchange “specialized skills” (algebras in this
case)


Introduction

Related Works
The GGF Data Access and Integration Services Work Group (GGFDAIS-WG) produces a lot of recomendations related with DB in
grids [OGSA-DAI-WSRF 05].
They are a set of interfaces and services to be implemented outside
the DBMS environment
 Only relational, XML and file system data models are supported


The OGSA-DAI project implements many of DAIS-WG
recomendations and offers a java toolkit for clients

The OGSA-DQP project [Smith et al. 2002] uses OGSA-DAI to
offer support in distributed queries over a grid. Only relational
databases are benefitted and doesn’t support the newly release of
OGSA-DAI based on WSRF.

Framework Description -
Structure
The framework is composed by:


A Spatial DBMS*: Secondo [Dieker and Güting 2000] was adopted
because its modularity, formalism and extensibility. It was intended
originally for experimental purpose with spatial and spatio-temporal
data models [Güting et al. 2004].
A grid middleware: it offers several services that are used by the
SDBMS [Foster 2005]:
Job Manager Service (GRAM)
 Reliable File Transfer Service (RFT)
 Index Service (MDS)
Globus Toolkit 4 was chosen because of its web service approach and set of
powerful components.


A set of tools: it was added to provide some extra functionalities
like:



Submit queries to a set of servers,
Discovery an algebra, in other Secondo, based in algebra description files
Import an algebra
(*) – when used with its spatial algebra

The Secondo #1 generates a job description file, a

nodes using GRAM
QUERY
Send
subqueries
The job description file can express a
multijob, for example meaning that a result
from a query must be transfered to another
to be used in a second step.

Framework Description –

New functionalities
Files generated automatically during a job submission:


Job description file – a file that specifies details about where and
how a job must be executed
Secondo Command file – specifies a set of commands to be run in
a Secondo server
Spatial select example
Constructed with spatial algebra
open database 28433;
create tempBox:rect;
update tempBox:=[const rect value(-48.775 –48.771 –25.331 –25.339)]
let temp=drain_line creatertree [shape];
query temp drain_line windowintersect [tempBox] consume;
delete temp;
delete tempBox;
close database 28433;
R-tree algebra operators

The Case Study
To validate the proposed framework a geographic database
prototype is being built in the following manner:

Composition:
• 04 computers, with Fedora Linux, as grid nodes,
• All machines running GT4 with GRAM, MDS, RFT services,
• All machines running a modified Secondo (Secondo-grid)

Distributed spatial database design:
Hydrography
Federated architecture with a Global Schema
Secondo 1
Edification
Thematic fragmentation
Vegetation
The fragments can be replicated
All themes belong to the same region

Secondo 4
Secondo 3

The Case Study

Autonomy:
modarate, because each Secondo must update the global
schema and fragments’ map when necessary

Nature of data:
Cartographic data supplied by Directory of Geographic Service
(Brazilian Army)

Queries being implemented:
spatial select and spatial join
15 / 18
Final Considerations

This framework is being developed as a platform for
experimental purposes: performance isn’t its main focus

Many issues were not included in present work and will be
covered in future works: transaction control, optimizer for
distributed queries, security, etc

Modules of the framework that are running now:
• Registering and Monitoring modules: based on
global schema, fragments’ map, servers’ status
monitor and algebras’ description file
• Automatic generation of files: job description and
secondo command file
• Submission of single queries with GRAM clients
16 / 18
Final Considerations

Next steps:



Conclude the data transference module using RFT
Implement multijob submission with complex queries
Conclude the infrastructure to import algebras
