MDS 2.4 Index of VOs - Public GIIS
The Globus project maintains an MDS index node (GIIS) available for anyone to query.
| Globus Project - Public GIIS VO index | |||||||||

|||||||||
Note that the Grid defined by the public giis is intended to be a resource discovery Grid only, with no systems accepting compute jobs, data transfers, or any Globus Tookit functionality beyond resource discovery.
If you would like to join this VO, directions can be
found
here.
To query this giis, use the
web interface;
or one of the many
MDS Browsers; or from a command line on a
machine with the Globus Toolkit 2.4 installed and configured:
grid-info-search -x -h giis.globus.org -b 'Mds-vo-name=vo-index,o=grid'
This query will return all of the data from the giis, currently about 630 objects (number of objects may vary drastically, since anyone can register with the Guest VO at any time).
The Directory Services Working Group of the UK Grid Engineering Task Force maintains a VO Index for UK e-Science projects.
