Hi Eddy,
My understanding is that there has been discussions about the
use of SAGA within the GridRPC group which I was surprised that there was not
recognition of this in the document you circulated.
The SAGA document has a ‘look and feel’ section (a set of
conventions on how to operate APIs) in addition to specific sections on jobs,
files, etc. The recent Service Discovery work expanded the set of SAGA APIs by
using the same look and feel – but in a new area of functionality.
Minimally I would have expected a new API from GridRPC to have
followed the same conventions.

Dear Steven,
What do you mean ?
For me SAGA is on the top of many API. And SAGA was on the
top of the GridRPC without data management. Now we add the data management in
the GridRPC but it should be compliant to the overload of the SAGA API.
When SAGA integrated GridRPC it was not at the same level
but on the top of GridRPC. SAGA is THE API of the APIs. Then I don't underst and what do you mean by using the
"look and feel" of SAGA ? Could you explain ?
Nevertheless we hope this document open discussions with the
SAGA WG as usual.
Best regards,
Eddy

I was surprised that this document no mention of SAGA... I
understood there was work going on to integrate the two APIs together at some
level... or at least to utilise the SAGA 'look and feel' in future GridRPC
work?
Thanks,
