Hi everyone, I have done my updates to the Data Storage section 8. I've added in the Space and Directory Management Operations and done some small editorial changes/trimmings to the existing text. There were a couple of bits that I wasn't sure about: 1. In section 8.4 I have currently left in the "Retention Type" Storage Space Property, but I wonder if this paragraph should be deleted since I thought there had been some discussion about whether including the storage space terms 'permanent', 'volatile' and 'durable' was a good idea or not? 2. I haven't touched section 8.5 "Site and VO Management", but should this section be kept in or perhaps moved somewhere more general? Most of section 8.5 is applicable to all data services I think, and not just storage services. 3. Section 8.7 "Interaction of Storage and Transfer" is probably out of date now and could be deleted perhaps?? Cheers, Stephen. ------------------------------------------ Stephen Davey, NextGRID Software Architect National e-Science Centre, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AA, UK. Tel: +44 131 650 9820
