Information System
From GridPP Wiki
Over View
The LHC Grid uses the LDAP protocol as the main information system for the Grid. This system is based upon a hierarchy of LDAP proxies that publish and query LDAP servers and then republish this information. These services are often called BDII, globus-mds and Slapd. BDII is a CERN Proxy service which uses DBM as a persistence store for LDAP objects. BDII was developed in Perl from an original implementation in sh.
