OGSI

OGSA and OGSI are often confused in the Grid world, I often confuse them myself. But, OGSI is simply a set of software components which support an OGSA compliant environment. OGSA stands for Open Grid Services Architecture while OGSI stands for Open Grid Service Infrastructure. The key word in the OGSI ``anti-acronym'' is infrastructure. OGSI is a set of executables and the like which support the OGSA standard.
