The Open Science Grid (OSG) is distributed computing infrastructure for large-scale scientific research, built and operated by a consortium of universities, national laboratories, scientific collaborations, and software developers. The OSG enables scientists to seamlessly harness grid-computing resources worldwide, and interoperates with multiple other grid infrastructures.

MyOSG was developed to aggregate information from many OSG systems, including administrative, accounting, status, monitoring services, and ticket tracking tools. Guided by the theory that each individual using OSG has a unique view which they were interested in, the decision was made to use the Universal Widget API specification developed by NetVibes, which allows generic widgets to be created that users can integrate with their personal workflow: MyOSG use is based on individual preferences. The information can then be easily exported to a number of tools for display, including iGoogle, iPhone, Apple Dashboard, Windows Vista, and MySpace.
