The PORTAL-DOORS Project (PDP) for the semantic web and grid began in 2006 with the goal of implementing a cyberinfrastructure system capable of effective data integration, communication and interoperability across different specialty domains in the health care and life sciences. The initial design paper DOORS to the Semantic Web and Grid with a PORTAL for Biomedical Computing was submitted in 2006, published by IEEE TITB online in 2007 and hardcopy print in 2008. The PORTAL-DOORS System (PDS) enables storage, management, and distribution of who what where metadata useful for identifying, describing, locating and linking things on the internet, web and grid.
