Dear all, Here is a short update of OGSA-D activity. The OGSA-D (OGSA Data Architecture working group was officially approved in late April by the GGF Steering committee. The WG now has its own place in Grid Forge and its own mailing list (ogsa-d-wg@ggf.org). The group continues to hold weekly teleconferences, every Wednesday at 8 AM PDT (4 PM BST). The last two calls have focused on replication and storage management. The Data Architecture document is evolving with new material on replication and DAIS being added in recent weeks. We will hold a face to face meeting on May 26 at Imperial College in London, following the OGSA WG face to face meeting. We plan to have multiple sessions at GGF-14 including a community update session, one on data transfer and one possibly on transactions.
