abstract: This is the 3rd GGF Semantic Grid workshop, and the first in Europe.  The workshop will feature presentations from projects which have been exploring various aspects of the Semantic Grid.  It is intended as an opportunity for the Semantic Grid community to meet and to inform GGF on the latest developments in Semantic Grid R&D, and also to act as an introduction to those who are interested in finding out more about the Semantic Grid.
