David and Andrew, Concerning Useful Official and De facto Standards : At the 6th e-Infrastructure Concertation Meeting in Lyon on 24 November 2008, David WALLOM performed a presentation entitled 'Standardisation: Recent progress review and best-practices sharing: Middleware Track', where slides 26, 27 and 28 showed relationships between OGF recommendations. These slides permitted me to understand much better the work undertaken at OGF, and I thank again David very much for them. But since then, I have NOT seen that OGF has published any update of these slides. Therefore, I have used the open source ArgoUML tool to create a diagram containing : - updated information about standards and OGF recommendations shown in these slides, - relationships between official standards, de facto standards and OGF recommendations about security (AUTHN and AUTHZ). I have published : - This diagram at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15990?nav=1 - The source UML at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15977?nav=1 I would like that everyone verifies this diagram, in order to correct error, add improvements, and finally permit official publication. In particular : - David, can you verify this diagram (in particular for recommendations about Data and Job) ? - Andrew, can you verify this diagram (in particular for the SAML and WS standards and recommendations about security) ? Thank you in advance for your contribution.
