Case sensitivity
by Burke, S (Stephen) 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi, I just came across a mail I sent a while ago about case-sensitivity in GLUE. I don't think it was ever answered but I still think it's something that should be defined. "Something that just came up is the question of case-sensitivity for strings. It looks to me that the LDAP schema defines all the strings to be insensitive. However, other things may well be case-sensitive, and I thought we had defined everything to be case-sensitive at the schema level. Is that right? Looking at the Glue document the only reference I can see is to VOMS attributes being sensitive." Stephen

GLUE Spec - draft 8 available
by Sergio Andreozzi 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi everybody, me and Balazs have worked most of the part of today to incorporate the comments from the two sessions of OGF 21 into the current GLUE spec draft. A new version is available with revision in all the main entities. A section about auxiliary entities was also added. http://forge.ogf.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.glue-wg/docman.… Next week we will start weekly phoneconferences to discuss 2/3 entities per telecon with related attributes and relationships. Before each telecon we will ask participants to provide instances of the various classes with example values related to real use cases. More details will be provided. Meanwhile, you can bookmark this page: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/PhoneMeeting… Cheers, Sergio -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Tel: +39 051 609 2860 Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 Fax: +39 051 609 2746 40126 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi

by Sergio Andreozzi 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi everybody, following our today's telecon, I've applied the small number of changes to the spec document: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/docman/do/viewDocument/projects.glue-wg/docman.root… we have also updated the XML Schema definitions for the AdminDomain, Location and Contact classes and the related instance for CNAF Tier 1 centre: http://forge.cnaf.infn.it/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/glue/xml/?root=omii-eu… please, provide examples as well. They are the real testbed for our work and they will enable us to follow the right path in this work. Cheers, Sergio PS: the minutes will also be added by Felix in our today's telecon page in our OGF GLUE wiki. -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Tel: +39 051 609 2860 Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 Fax: +39 051 609 2746 40126 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi

OGF 21 and new GLUE Specification draft
by Sergio Andreozzi 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi everybody, for tomorrow, there are two GLUE sessions dedicated to discuss the GLUE model: http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=901 http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=902 we have also a joint info modeling session this afternoon: http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=903 a new draft containing an initial allocation of attributes from GLUE 1.x and NorduGrid schemas is available in the document repository: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/docman/do/viewDocument/projects.glue-wg/docman.root… Such a draft is an important step forwards since last OGF. Concerning our timeline, we wish to be able to go public comments by OGF22, therefore the work between now and the next OGF is really important. In order to achieve this goal, we will start regular weekly phoneconferences. Looking to meet those of you that are at OGF during the GLUE sessions. Cheers, Sergio -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Tel: +39 051 609 2860 Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 Fax: +39 051 609 2746 40126 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi

Network Markup Language Working Group (NML-WG)
by Martin Swany 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hi all, Sorry for the wide distribution. We wanted to make you aware (remind you in some cases) of the new working group called the Network Markup Language WG (NML-WG.) From the charter: "The purpose of the Network Mark-up Language Working Group is to combine efforts of multiple projects to describe network topologies, so that the outcome is a standardised network description ontology and schema, facilitating interoperability between different projects." The relationship of this group to the NM-WG is obvious as network measurement are a key user of representations of network topology. For the GHPN, those interested in dynamic Grid networks should be interested in the NML-WG as it represents a basis for topology exchange and pathfinding. Essentially, many groups have a need to represent network elements, and we believe that a single representation is ideal. That's a little misleading in that various levels of resolution make sense at different times, but some of us have the sense that a single representation framework can accomplish that. For more details, to participate, or to throw fruit and tell us the problem is solved/unsolvable/irrelevant or just plain out of our feeble depth, please join us in Seattle at OGF21. best regards, Martin and Paola
