Hi all The current implementation of VO stuff for Computing element is done using the AccessPolicy and MappingPolicy objects with basic policy and rules as defined in GFD147. Having a new attribute in my opinion is dreadful as it might generate inconsistencies between these two approaches. On the other hand an attribute will make searches more efficient, as one just needs to query for that attribute to retrieve the share objects, while in Computing now one has to fetch all shares and their siblings first, process the mapping policies for each share and then identify those that are related to the VO's MappingPolicy. The way Stephen suggests I never liked, doing regular expressions on strings that are not related to concepts in the model it is very annoying. One can decide that a namespace contains whatever information one wants, also the age of the person who wrote the last file, but I think digging out information this way is a sad way to go and makes the use of a schema questionable. But I don't do storage so I won't stress this. Querying the lcg bdii (lcg-bdii.cern.ch) for Mapping/Access Policies and Shares will show you how it is done in the computing part, I guess you're probably already aware of it. I think we make it more complicated and cumbersome by having a completely different approach on cloud storage. Cheers, Florido On 2017-10-19 10:20, Alessandro Paolini wrote:
Hi all,
sorry for not having replied before, but many emails to this list are put in the spam folder: google filters are very aggressive!
In our GLUE2.1 implementation, there is one Share per VO, so we can add here the new attribute for the identifier of that particular VO.
Cheers, Alessandro

It depends how you use it, the schema itself isn't prescriptive. In general a Share provides information about some part of a Resource which is usable by some group of users, but a given application needs to decide what constitutes a suitable group.
