The InteGrade Repository Application should store Grid Applications and their related data as well as metadata describing this content registered by grid users. Its main goal is to leverage sharing and reuse of its content.

The present implementation of the repository is quite limited. It includes a small set of methods to address some functionalities such as registering application, uploading binary, retrieving binary, and retrieving other kinds of content. Once a binary of an application is uploaded it can be retrieved dor reuse by authorized users. Secure manipulation of content is supported by a secure mechanism integrated into the repository, including authorization and cryptographic features.

The next step toward an efficient sharing of the repository content involves metadata and ontological layers, which will improve reusability and reliability.
