Notes from Use Case Workshop call
by Steven Newhouse 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

OGSA F2F User Case Requirements Workshop Telecon 13th March 2008 Attendees ========= Hiro Kishimoto Steven Newhouse Andreas Savva Andrew Grimshaw Ellen Stokes Stephen McGough (note taker) Draft proposal has gone out to the list some responses from Ravi, David Berry, Geoffrey Fox and others. Comments as to if this should come out of the Enterprise Council? Plan is to move forward with this to complement the work of the Enterprise Council. Ellen - Expand scope of paragraph 3. Place OGF in front of Community. Hiro - Openness of workshop? Do we want invite only? Steven - not planned to be a closed meeting - but don't want people wasting space (i.e. reading email). Andreas - change will to may - Attendance "may" have to be limited due to space. Ellen - Attendees should bring a use case? Steven - yes good idea - need to make the spread of use cases balanced. Try to spend time one-on-one for users and OGSA for collecting information. Andrew - We want to get new people in - not all the old ones. Need a list of people to specifically ask. Discuss later Tentative dates in email. Telecon will hopefully be available. Will questionnaire be sent out with invite? - Not time - but with acceptances. Will try and send out a call to OGF-announce and other suitable mailing lists. How to collect replies? - an OGF mail address? - Set up a mailing list redirecting to people on this call. Use case template from SAGA group. This seems too detailed and drills down too deep. Should we re-write this? Want more of the high level business model than the low level details. Andrew: Discuss list of invites. Be proactive beyond OGF mailing lists. Life sciences has been done before Go after groups like: - caGrd - NSF Cyber-Infrastructure - MITRE - NSA - Airbus - Boeing - Auto industry - Shell and Schlumberger - OSG - Mathworks (MathLab) - Financial services - Local Government Steven - we need new blood Hiro - Invite Nick Carr? Monday 17th for next call. Consolidated Actions: * Questionnaire template * Set up mailing list reflector * Andrew to contact caGrid, NSF, Boeing, NSA and Mathworks * Ellen to talk to IBM internally for contacts to customers or for prior use cases. * Steven to provide a template for the next call.

OGSA-DMI in public comment - please comment
by Steven Newhouse 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

The OGSA DMI Functional Specification is now in public comment http://www.ogf.org/Public_Comment_Docs/Documents/2008-02/ogsa-dmi-spec-edit… Abstract The Open Grid Services Architecture Data Movement Interface (OGSA-DMI) specification defines a standardized mechanism for moving data from its source to its destination. By abstracting this movement, the client complexity for moving data within a grid will be greatly reduced. OGSA-DMI defines two port types for initiating, scheduling and managing data transfers from a given source to a specified destination. The source and destination are described through Data End Point References (DEPRs), a specialized form of a WS-Address. An OGSA-DMI service will use the properties of the data to be transferred and the properties of the infrastructure to decide what the best underlying transfer protocol to undertake the actual data transfer is for the given combination of data source and sink. By this means OGSA-DMI provides a common interface, though its abstraction layer, that can be used to span the preferred transfer mechanisms used across many different types of Grid infrastructures. This version of the specification aims to ensure that the OGSA-DMI port types are composable with other Web Service (WS) specifications whilst being agnostic about any specific WS rendering. OGSA-DMI is only concerned with the moving of data, i.e. bytes. Any associated semantics are the responsibility of higher level services that leverage off OGSA-DMI. The OGSADMI framework is general enough to cater for the movement of single elements of data or composites. Please review and make comments (positive or negative): https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/discussion/do/listTopics/projects.ggf-editor… Thanks, Steven
