EU-Project: GRACE

GRACE - Grid Search and Categorization Engine has been an EU project in the 5th framework program. It has been an attempt to apply an innovative Grid-based solution that will meet the challenges of searching a global heterogeneous collection of documents.
The goal of the project has been the building of a distributed search and categorization engine that will run on Grid-middleware (Large Hadron Collider Computer Group (LCG-2) and European DataGrid (EDG)).
