Discussion of Data EPR

What is the role of the Data EPR? Why does the data need to be within an EPR? Should we wrap data up in an EPR?

Propose: Single top-level container element to contain all DMI related data. This element could appear as part of an EPRs meta-data or standalone. Agreed.

 

Where do DEPRs come from?

They must be generated to comply with the specification. But we do not say where they come from – just how they MUST be structured.

 

requestDataTransfer operation on the DTF

Should we pass in the full DEPR (that includes the DataWrapper element) or just pass in the DataWrapper element? Passing in the DEPR means that more complex negotiation scenarios could be developed in the future as there would be a reference to a web service that the DTF could go to in order to find out more information.

An EPR could contain a reference to the logical data source/sink name. This EPR (not yet a Data EPR) could be passed into the DTF as part of the requestDataTransfer operation and then that service EPR is populated with the DataWrapper element so that the DTF has a enough information to undertake the transfer.

Action: Michel to produce a scenario document (possibly using RNS as an example) to put in more detail as to how the DataWrapper could be produced by another service.

 

Action: Michel: To contact Hiro about getting a half day slot at the OGSA F2F.
