In ther OGSA Data Architecture document we suggest that URI's are needed to name transport protocols, access interfaces, and query languages. I would be surprised if this list were exhaustive. ByteIO, of course, have made a start on naming SOAP transport protocols (SwA, MTOM and DIME).

Folks,

- apologies for cross-posting -

[...]

Also, while we were discussing this matter on the last DMI call, we came up with the idea whether it is feasible to pull together a couple

of interested people and create an OGF Community Practice document that may be based on GFD.84: "Standardised Namespaces for XML infosets in OGF" (http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.84.pdf) and defines, at an OGF level, standardized URIs for things such as - non-bound EPRs (as discussed) - Data transport protocol identifies (GridFTP, HTTP, FTP, SRB, RFT, ...) - ...

Any ideas or comments?

The SAGA groups would happily consume such a document - at the moment, we leave all these specification to either the implementors or (worse) to the end users, and are not satisfied with that solution. Cheers, Andre.
