There's a new 20-page report available on semanticgrid.org
It discusses discusses ´feasible Semantic Grid services and opportunities for enterprises to participate and collaboration between disciplines. It also look at some important issues:
"...The biggest challenge to be overcome appears to be of a non-technical nature: having people
from different fields talk, work and evolve together. Another challenge is that overcoming
reluctance of industry and business to fully engage Semantic Grid technologies given many in
industry and business remain somewhat unsure of the Semantic Web and the benefits of the
Grid (other than ‘cluster computing’). Nonetheless commercial interest alone will probably
not drive the Semantic Grid to become a success."
According to Ken Birman at Cornell CS Department, they have more problems than this because grid technology sofar has not adressed reliabilty and security and that it is still unclear that the need for massive cumputing will be pervasive and not only CERN and a few others
