In the past several years, the metadata management technologies have matured for searching and processing data saved in numerous storage resources in a distributed environment based e-infrastructure. AMGA is the metadata catalog service technology based on grid; thus, it is being widely leveraged as an essential element in various environments including grid. In recent days, the single package of gLite, UNICORE, ARC and dCache middleware component, which contains an individual distributed environment, was developed through the EMI project of EU FP7 program. AMGA also conducted the compatibility development with the other components within EMI through the official software of EMI. This thesis discusses about the implementation of AMGA for middleware-interoperability according to EMI policies and strategies; the information sharing on software use; and the measure to facilitate AMGA utilization in an effective way.
