OMII-UK cultivates, develops and supports a wide range of open source software aimed at the UK research community but available for anyone to use. OMII-UK software spans a wide range such as data access, integration and sharing (OGSA-DAI), workflow enactment and tools (Taverna), video conferencing and collaboration (PAG, RAT and VIC), and computational job execution (GridSAM, RAPID) and APIs (SAGA) enabling better use and sharing of resources across organisational boundaries to turn ideas into knowledge and promote collaborations between organisations and individuals. OMII-UK has a user-focused approach, encouraging the developments of communities that use OMII-UK software components together with other components in novel ways to enable world class research.
