Adopting a GLUE2 XML Schema?
by Steve Crouch 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, Grimoires, the OMII-UK service discovery implementation, currently supports GLUE 1.3, but we wish to update this to support an XML schema rendering of GLUE2. Given that there isn't currently an up-to-date XML schema for GLUE2 from the WG, we were wondering how best to proceed. We're aware that there is an XML schema developed by TeraGrid - would this be an appropriate way forward until one is developed within the WG? Any advice gratefully received!

Strings

Hi, A point just came up about the representation of strings. In the GLUE 2 specification it seems we have no definition of the "string" type, which looks like an oversight (other than an implication in the placeholder section that strings may be UTF-8). In the GLUE 2 LDAP schema as currently implemented for EGEE, strings seem to be typed as IA5String as they were in glue 1, which is basically 7-bit ascii so special characters are not allowed. Should we be allowing UTF-8 strings? Stephen -- Scanned by iCritical.
