The GLUE 2.0 Compute Resource entity has 3 attributes that point to directories: TmpDir, ScratchDir, DataDir. Computing resources may have node local, cluster wide, and grid wide scratch. Grids may also have other types of directories that they would like to publish like project directories, parallel file system directories, etc. It would be useful to have a separate "Compute Resource Directory" entity that makes it possible to publish other directory types besides "Tmp", "Scratch", and "Data". Perhaps an entity called "Computing Resource Directory" with 2 attributes: <Type> = "Tmp", "Scratch", "Data", or other IDs <Path> = the path to the directory Thanks, JP Navarro
