Check out Oracle's view in the following white paper ... http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/grid/pdf/gridtechwhitepaper_0305.pdf

<sarcastic original draft>
There's a wonderful little web site called Oracle Technet, available at http://otn.oracle.com, that is intended to provide all sorts of technical information. (The site can be quite useful when confusion around Oracle terms and technology occurs - as frequently happens.)

On that web site is a link (menu, left side) labled 'Grid'. It's under the 'Technology' section of the menu.

On the resulting web page are links to a number of white papers. (Well, not quite white - they have black interspersed, and that black stuff can be interpreted as words.)

One of the 'white papers' is titled "Technical White Paper: Grid Computing with Oracle". It happens to have a working definition for Grid. </sarcastic original draft>
