> address the needs of production Grid infrastructures based on the
> experiences gained in GIN. The resulting Web service interfaces and
> schemas defined by this working group will be a set of profiles of open
> standards and specifications such as OGSA-Basic Execution Services
> (GFD.108), Job Submission Description Language (GFD.136), GridFTP
> (GFD.20), Storage Resource Manager (GFD.129), and efforts of the GLUE2
> (GFD tbc) working group. The additional work bv this group will go
> beyond the current specifications and extensions to focus on the
> missing links between these specifications taking reasonable
> authentication/authorization models into account – all tuned to the use
> cases found in production Grid infrastructures.
