Gora now features within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
Open Catalog
as part of ongoing participation in the [XDATA
Program](http://www.darpa.mil/opencatalog/XDATA.html).
+XDATA is developing an open source software library for big data to help
overcome the
+challenges of effectively scaling to modern data volume and characteristics.
The
+program is developing the tools and techniques to process and analyze large
sets of
+imperfect, incomplete data. Its programs and publications focus on the areas
of
+analytics, visualization, and infrastructure to efficiently fuse, analyze and
+disseminate these large volumes of data.
+
Gora is being used by the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory](http://jpl.nasa.gov)
team to execute
[extract-transform-load](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extract,_transform,_load)-type
tasks
for mapping and integration of source heterogeneous data to and from target
NoSQL solutions.
