This proposal is for a pilot project to enriching a selected database with semantics to enhance interoperability by including more self-description. In an eResearch framework, tools like database enriching semantics are part of the middleware suite as it builds out toward data re-use.
This project would allow nationally coordinated GRID middleware services to be tested using a real-life database, it will also provide a benchmark for promoting databases which are consistent and shareable, and the benefits of drastically reduced costs of development through data modelling.
