I am okay with these suggested changes. I would note that if we make the change from Status to State in 5.1.2.1 then we should also change the text in various places (e.g., 5.1.3) that talks about "status" to use "state" instead.

[ogsa-dmi-wg] Proposed Specification Changes

All,

I know we've just tried to close the document down... but I've been doing a bit of coding and have some suggested changes and documentation errors from the implementation to date.

Hope these seem sensible.

Steven

Changes
4.2.1.2.1 - Change the names in the DEPR (same semantics but clearer meaning)
AvailableProtocols --> DataLocations
Protocol -> Data (Attributes: Name -> Protocol & url -> DataUrl

4.2.1
requestDataTransferInstance -> GetDataTransferInstance

4.2.2
getFactoryAttributesDocument -> GetFactoryAttributesDocument

4.3
Add a fault: NoDataLocationsInEpr
Change NoTransferProtocolAggrementFault -> NoSourceSinkProtocolMatchFault

5.1.2.1 (& 5.2.7.1.1)
Change Status element to State element

5.2
Capitalise first letter of each state change operation

5.2.4
In the text we have a restart operation. In the state diagram we have a resume operation and a resumed event. Something needs to be rationalized here! Personally I prefer changing to the resume operation - restart to me has a different meaning (going back to the beginning) while resume starts mid-transfer after coming out of the suspended state.

5.2.6
getStatus -> GetState

Editorial Errors
4.1.1.1 - cross referencing errors
5.1.1.1 - ditto
5.1.4.1
5.2.6.1
