Hi everyone, <background> A little while ago, the WLCG VO ATLAS started investigating how to do storage accounting in a platform neutral fashion (i.e., not depending on SRM). Their idea was that a site would "somehow" ensure that their storage system always has a file containing the necessary information. The file would be stored in a standard location. ATLAS could then read this file using whichever protocol is easiest. The plan was for this file would be encoded as JSON. They also put together a rough description of how this file should look like. I suggested that they investigate GLUE 2 and the GLUE-JSON binding, rather than coming up with their own proprietary solution. </background> So, ATLAS are asking for some information: o people with whom they can discuss how to use GLUE2 and GLUE-JSON. o tools that parse GLUE-JSON. I guess this would be mostly from XSEDE guys. So, does anyone want to help them evaluate GLUE 2? Cheers, Paul.
