The needs and demands of Information Society are in constant state of change and flux. Information overload, information loss, information-on-demand are among the many factors confronting professionals, practitioners, and net-users daily. To a great extent, grey literature is the cause of all this. For the past two decades grey literature has grown exponentially in relation to commercially published literature. The grey literature community realizes that while the challenges faced at the 1st Conference in 1993 may not have all been resolved, solutions today lay in a whole new order, on yet another scale and magnitude than ever before. GL10 seeks to address the challenges to grey literature that still remain, while dealing with even newer challenges and an infrastructure that can effectively integrate them. “Designing the Grey Grid for Information Society” invokes an infrastructure, which takes into account social, political, and organizational factors. For these impact system-to-system performance when dealing with the scale and diversity of information, data, document types, collections, and subject areas linked to grey literature. As such, interoperability becomes ‘de facto’ a requirement in the design of the grey grid i.e. an infrastructure that can model and withstand the test of an ever changing Information Society.
