Subject	OGSA Data Architecture Now in Public Comment

Dear Data Area chairs,

The OGSA Data Architecture architecture document has been placed into its 30 day public comment period. It refers to several other OGF data standards, most strongly WS-DAI, ByteIO and SRM but also OGSA-DMI, DFDL and RNS.

Please take a look at it and submit your comments, even if it is little more than "I read it". You can make public comments at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/discussion/do/listTopics/projects.ggf-editor/discussion.info_ogsa_data_architecture. You have to be logged in to be able to leave comments.

Thanks.
