We describe a new framework for building a system that consists of tools and services for supporting Cyberinfrastructure based scientific research. This system, called the Semantic Research Grid (SRG), integrates a number of existing online research tools (social bookmarking, academic search, scientific databases, journal and conference content management systems) and aims to develop added-value communitybuilding tools that leverage the semantic analysis of digital documents. We discuss the design, the overall architecture, and the implementation of SRG, and provide a roadmap of the future work in this project.
