It is anticipated that the UK Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council will as part of its Astrogrid initiative, support an activity that will develop Grid-compatible tools for handling SDO data, with particular reference to the AIA and HMI investigations. The work will be undertaken by a UK-based group of AIA and HMI Co-investigators. It will include i) assistance to the US PI teams in the preparation of specialist algorithms for local and global Heleioseismology data products and for feature recognition in HMI and AIA images, ii) development of a Grid-compatible software infrastructure to enable distributed processing and storage of SDO data, and iii) development of data summaries to aid high speed searches within a virtual observatory. An account of the proposed development programme will be presented.
