All,

 

Sorry for rejoining the debate in its later stages.  Too many quarterly driven deliverables :o)

 

I think I have made the comment in the past that we sometimes cause confusion by using a term that is widely used in industry more specifically or differently than within an OGSA specific context.  One of these is Resource Management.  This is very widely used within the context of performance management and the OGSA definition may cause confusion.  Now the definition is not too bad in and of itself in that the OGSA definition is actually broader.  However its use, for example in the definition of CIM could be very confusing to some.  CIM is an object oriented model for supporting Systems Management, and not Resource Management in the traditional sense.   Clearly it models a sub-set of what OGSA considers Resources, and in an OGSA sense may ease the management of what OGSA defines as resources, but if you ask the folks doing CIM they would not I think indicate that their model is for resource management per se.  I think we must make this plain in the OGSA Glossary.
