The message below, with its attachment,
has not made it to the list in ~17 hours so I am concerned that the attachment
(even though only ~1.2 MB) has caused a problem. So, I have placed
the document on GridForege at:
Please see the note below for details
about this version of the document and a request for feedback.
Thanks.

Updated Data Architecture
Document
I have completed my pass over the data
architecture document. The updated document is attached to this note.
This note outlines what I have done
and asks for your comment and feedback. Once we have had an initial
round of feedback and dealt with those, I will then place this version
on Grid Forge as our current "truthful" document.
Here is a summary of what was done:
-
Terminology consistency. I have tried to ensure that terminology
such as data resource, data service, policy and agreement
are used consistently in the document.
-
Places where work needs to be done by other WGs have been explicitly identified.
There are a lot of these!
-
I have tried to simply edit. I have tried to avoid making semantic
changes to the document. If I have inadvertently changed the
semantics of the document, this is almost
certainly unintended.
-
The security chapter was moved to just after the "Architectural context"
chapter. It made no sense for such a generally applicable
set of material to be at the end of the document.
-
The Data Access section is the last version that Mario published. I
have not edited it pending completion of Mario's work.
-
All "yellow background" text has been eliminated. I either
concluded that the text in the document already covered the issue
or I took a stab at addressing it.
-
Some sections that are not in scope for this version of the document have
been deleted.
-
All previous changes were accepted. All changes in the document represent
changes made in this editing pass.
-
Minor typographical, spelling and grammatical errors have been corrected.
-
There are a number of unbound references that need to be resolved. I
will do this sin the next pass - your help in finding
proper targets will be appreciated.
A goal of this pass was to get us closer
to a document that could be put out for public comment = a "clean"
document if you will. That is why much "extraneous" text
was eliminated.
Please send your comments and feedback
to the entire list or just to me, as seems most appropriate. Next
Wednesday's teleconference will be used to review this version of the document
and all comments received up to then.
