Could you also post the reference to the INFOD specification(s)? Also references to any other material describing the more advanced features you expect to work on in the future would be nice. Abdeslem in his revision to the information services section for OGSA 1.5 added mentions of INFOD and I would like to have a reference to a specification, even if an early working group draft. I would also like to understand better the potential role of INFOD. -- Andreas Savva Steve Fisher wrote:
Hi,
I have heard a number of people complaining this week, at GGF, that "Information is a hole". It was also on the slides shown by Dave Snelling on Thursday morning.
Previously Abdeslem Djaoui liaised between the INFOD-WG and OGSA-WG but now we have no direct means of communication and I suspect that some people in OGSA have not completely understood the potential role of INFOD, nor is INFOD sure of the size or shape of the hole it might fill within OGSA.
The INFOD spec has been simplified significantly - or rather we have decided to concentrate on a base specification before moving on to more advanced features. We plan to have the base spec going for public comment in June, but it would obviously be better to understand very soon how it fits in to the big picture - to avoid having a specification which does not meet the perceived OGSA needs. How do you suggest we move forward?
