OpenGrid

The supplied evidence describes Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) as a service-oriented architecture for grid computing in business and scientific settings. It was developed through the Open Grid Forum and its predecessor, the Global Grid Forum. This evidence does not establish OpenGrid as a commercial brand, company, or product offering, so a commercial brand dossier cannot be substantiated.

The supplied source traces the concept behind OGSA to the 2002 Globus Alliance paper “The Physiology of the Grid,” by Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman, Jeffrey M. Nick, and Steven Tuecke. OGSA was developed within the Global Grid Forum, later called the Open Grid Forum, through work around 2002–2006. That work produced the document “The Open Grid Services Architecture, Version 1.5” in 2006. The source describes OGSA as an architecture and a set of requirements, specifications, and profiles intended to support interoperable grid solutions. It does not describe a commercial brand or company.

  Linux Foundation launches OpenGrid open grid-planning initiative[2]Linux基金会发起OpenGrid开放电网规划计划renewableenergymagazine.com

  Reported: 2026-10-08

  The Linux Foundation announced the launch of OpenGrid, a neutral, interoperable open foundation for electricity grid planning that will provide open standards and schemas, programmatic APIs and a centralized Data Hub, with support from Breakthrough Energy GRIDS, Global Grid Catalyst, Connected Grid Initiative and Google.org, and technical delivery partners including Open Energy Transition, Tapestry, TransitionZero and QXT Energy. Its first lighthouse application, the OpenGrid Translator, is in development for release in 2027.
