"Our Mission The Open Science Grid (OSG) advances science through open distributed computing. The OSG is a multi-disciplinary partnership to federate local, regional, community and national cyberinfrastructures to meet the needs of research and academic communities at all scales."

"E-Science is the tool that offers scientists a scope to store, interpret, analyse and network their data to other work groups. e-Science will play a major role in every facet of scientific research, starting out with the initial theory-based research, testing through simulation, systematically controlled testing, collection of data in an organised manner and the corresponding interpretation of said data."
