Behalf Of Florido Paganelli said: My only concern is that these names should come from implementor of the services/interfaces, not from users. Did the IGE project developed these services by themselves, or it's globus services?
IGE are developers, not users (Initiative for Globus in Europe, now called something else I think):
also a serviceType org.globus.gsissh sounds very weird to me. All in all this repetition of names between Services and InterfaceNames makes me think we have no common understanding of the concepts.
I don't think we do have a clear understanding of the ServiceType,
We created this. We must have.
but nevertheless we have to publish something, it's a mandatory attribute.
please let's not do this. This will lead to a plethora of Services and Endpoint names we will never manage consistently.
For Services which only have one type of Endpoint, copying the InterfaceName seems the simplest solution.
In my opinion a "Service" is some piece of software or a collection of software packages providing functionalities in the form of Endpoints. One should ask herself: what is "running" my Endpoint? I think it the other way around: first comes the service, then the endpoint. Service is what you can do, Endpoint is how you do it
Here it seems there is a 1 to 1 relationship between Service and Endpoint. Is it so? Service for me is some kind of grouping of endpoints dedicated to to something, that's why we have ComputingService and StorageService.
The structure of the schema is that an Endpoint must have an associated Service, so we have to publish it like that even if there is only a single Endpoint (as is quite often the case).
Ok, so what is running such endpoints? are they run inside the same "container" or they are independent pieces of software?
Moreover, we should only accept Open Enumerations that come with a description. Can they provide such a thing?
I assume Tilo can do that, although gram and gsissh are well-known.
Yes but before that we should make up our mind , don't you think so? We should be able to give directions about descriptions.
