Steve, We've never had such discussion at all. What makes you think like that? It might be possible to adopt the SAGA look and feel, but we are not interested in the part now. For us, the part is not essential. -- HIDEMOTO NAKADA, Ph.D, AIST, Japan On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 9:14 PM, Steven Newhouse <Steven.Newhouse@cern.ch> wrote:
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,
