Comments on the last call draft
by Steven Newhouse 22 May '08

22 May '08

I found some minor non-normative editorial issues: 1. Ravi's name is missing or hidden in the header on pages 2 & 3 2. Last paragraph of 1.2 'they are able to still interoperate' 3. Page 15. Definition of @dmi:DataUrl attribute - remove the space 4. Section 4.3.3 - the title indent needs to be fixed 5. Section 5.2.6.1 - broken link 6. Section 5.4.1 - Replace Figure XXX with something & there's a broken reference in the previous paragraph I've not had time to look at the XML - and apologies for missing the call. Steven

Mario picked up a small number of issues: - Section 5.2.6.1 had an unresolved reference. - Unresolved reference below the caption on p26. - A Fig XXXXX in section 5.4.1. Michel fixed these and picked up a consistency issue with the schema copyright in the appendix. This too was fixed. Michel will send the final version of the document to Greg Newby and the data area directors as well as the chair of standards. Can use OGF23 to briefly go over the standard, public comment resolution and the renderings at OGF. Can discuss detail about the OGF meeting via email. Public comments and their resolution have been mailed to the OGSA DMI list and may also go up on GridForge if this becomes stable.

OGSA-DMI Functional Specification 1.0 ready for final GFSG review
by Michel Drescher 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi Greg, Chris, David and Erwin, on behalf of the OGSA-DMI WG I am pleased to pass back the OGSA-DMI Functional Specification 1.0, draft 58, to the OGF GFSG for final review before publication as a Proposed Recommendation. I have attached three documents. Document 1 is draft 58 of the OGSA-DMI Functional Specification 1.0 that incorporates all changes addressing public comments made. Document 2 is an Excel-Sheet reorganising the public comments into individual items. Document 3 is a PDF copy of document 2. As Gridforge currently is in a fairly unstable condition unfortunately, we believe that the Excel-based approach sufficiently mimics the intended formal process of addressing each public comment item as tracker artefacts. Once Gridforge returns back to normal operation we are happy to transition the comments into tracker artefacts if you want us to. Cheers, Michel

Resolution of Public Comments
by Mario Antonioletti 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi, I split the comments received on Grid Forge (currently not available) on the spread sheet included in this email (in excel and pdf formats). Originally intended to put these up as artifacts but of late Grid Forge has been too flaky. The spread sheet also has the agreed resolution from the OGSA-DMI Working Group. The spec has gone to last call and we hope to close off this version of the spec at today's call. Could those that made comments please check that they are happy with the proposed resolution of their comment. Thank you to all those that passed comments.
