The Semantic Grid is an extension of the current Grid in which information and services are given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. The full richness of the Grid ambition depends upon realizing the Semantic Grid, but it is still, to many, a mysterious hybrid of the Semantic Web and the Grid, both of which are subject to myths and misunderstandings. In this paper we explain the changing landscape of the Grid, and describe the bridge-building and myth busting needed to achieve the Semantic Grid.
