Abstract
The International Lattice Data Grid (ILDG) [1] has been making steady progress from an abstract concept to a more concrete implementation. The last year saw the completion of the MDC Web service specification, and the ILDG member groups; CSSM (Australia), Latfor data grid (LDG) (Germany), LDA (Japan), QCDgrid (UK), USQCD (USA), have either completed or are moving towards its implementation The Replica Catalogue service is in the process of being defined and data transfer trials have begun.

Funding
We thank the many people who have worked on making the ILDG a reality, including (but not limited to), the Middleware Working Group [1] and the Metadata Working Group [1]. The UKQCD grid project, QCDgrid, is a gridPP project [3]. LDG [5] is the Latfor project. U.S. funding for work on ILDG comes from the SciDAC programme of the U.S. Department of Energy.
