Here's Mario's summary of the status of DMI ... Cheers Steve _____________________________________________________________________ From the top of my head here is the DMI status. o Have a functional spec that is out there already. DataMinx folks want changes made in two specific capacities (though only one of these may hit the functional spec): - Make it less WS specific to accommodate a RESTful profile. - Add extensibility points (this may have an impact on the profiles not the functional spec - not sure). o Have a plain WS rendering that has already gone through the OGF process - all I have to do is Greg Newby a go ahead to publish it but have been waiting in case the extensibility points have an impact - not clear to me yet. o Steve Newhouse and Michel Drescher did interop on the plain WS rendering and it's all in the wiki but I've not got round to putting this in a document (lack of time/laziness on my part). o Shahbaz has been working on a WSRF rendering of the functional spec. This is in progress but not clear how long Shahbaz will be engaged in this process. o Currently have three chairs: me - hoping to pass on to you; Shahbaz for the time being though he may be moving on (not to be made public) and Ravi Madduri who has been a sleeping partner. Would be good to keep some representation from UNICORE/Globus as chairs.
