On behalf of the DPM team, could you please also consider adding:
I think these do need some more discussion ...
- "DPM" to ServiceType
isn't it possible to assign an organization do DPM? I know nothing about it. org.<organizationname>.dpm? I would actually love everything lowercase, but people seems to like case... :(
It isn't clear to me that DPM is a distinctive type - as far as I know it only implements standard interfaces like SRM and xroot, so why is it a different type of service to, say, dcache? What would you propose as a definition? DPM as a product name is published elsewhere. I think we probably need a type name that would be common between, say, DPM, dcache and Castor since they provide basically the same functionality.
- "org.webdav" and "org.xrootd" to InterfaceName
xroot has already been discussed extensively and we made a decision - I think the decision was to use "xroot" for the protocol name but we should check.
For webdav I think the "org." prefix isn't adding much here - probably we should just use "webdav" as it's a well-known protocol defined in an RFC so there's no issue of a name clash, but there may be other views. Anyway there are likely to be other interested parties - dcache at least - who should express a view.
I agree with Stephen, if there is no organization it doens't make sense to have 'org.' there. If it's a simple standard webdav interface, it's perfect to have only webdav there. But I also wonder what is the type of such interfacenames -- it seems to me that these two should be in Endpoint.Technology instead. The name of the interface should be something like org.<organizationname>.webdavenhanced if it's not just plain webdav If that is not enough then you should look into capabilities for EMI-ES and craft proper ones, like: data.transfer.xrootd data.transfer.webdav -- ================================================== Florido Paganelli ARC Middleware Developer - NorduGrid Collaboration System Administrator Lund University Department of Physics Division of Particle Physics BOX118 221 00 Lund Office Location: Fysikum, Hus B, Rum B313 Office Tel: 046-2220272 Email: florido.paganelli@REMOVE_THIShep.lu.se Homepage: http://www.hep.lu.se/staff/paganelli ==================================================
