                The distributed nature of the Grid, the heterogeneity of involved 
                resources, their dynamic behavior, and their decentralized control 
                and ownership are relevant challenges for a Grid Information Service.
                With this lecture, the problem of defining a common information 
                model is addressed and results of the Grid Laboratory
                Uniform Environment (GLUE) collaboration is presented. Current 
                activity within the Global Grid Forum is also recalled.
