[ogsa-d-wg] FW: [dais-wg] Request for Comments and Volunteers. (fwd)

13 Jan 2006

      Reagan Moore has given us a list of all the SRB access commands.  These
will be a useful check as to whether our architecture provides all the
necessary functionality.  (Although I expect these commands to map to
various different parts of our architecture, not just our data access
section).

Dave.

Mario:
I added to the document the set of data access commands (74 in total)
used by 
the Storage Resource Broker data grid to manage distributed shared
collections. 
These commands go beyond simple data access, and include commands needed
to 
minimize network latencies, manage distributed data, and federate
independent 
data grids.

The desire is to broaden the goals of the proposed data access
mechanisms to 
make them relevant to a large number of established international data
grids. 
A standard interface that is not able to support the operations provided
by 
existing data grids will artificially restrict itself.  Note that the 
functionality of the commands that are listed is required to support a
diverse 
set of applications ranging from data grids to digital libraries to 
preservation environments.

Hi,
   Please find enclosed an updated (but not yet finished) version of a
...
Data
Access setion that is being prepared as a contribution to the OGSA
Data 
Archtecture document. The document is still a bit rough so my
apologies for 
that. I would like people who might want to help write
this section (and contribute to the OGSA Data document in general).
In particular:
- I need someone to put some proper content in the ByteIO section.
  - Folks to review and put forward their requirements/comments.
  - DAIS folks to read the DAIS part and make sure it makes sense.
This is a work in progress. Thanks in advance for any input you may 
have or any bits that you may wish to contribute.
Mario
