 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.
