47) check JSDL compliance - TODO CHRIS/ANDRE, URGENT Graeme sent today the message included below, which addresses these issues. As the saga attribute names have been coined before JSDL was finalized, it is not surprising that names deviate. I propose to update the names to reflect the JSDL names (they are well chosen I think). Also, SAGA supports a number of attributes, which have no equivalent in JSDL: * SAGA_JobState -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_JobInteractive -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_JobContact[] -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_JobNotification -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_JobNative -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_WallclockSoftLimit -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_JobStartTime -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_Deadline -> NOT SUPPORTED * SAGA_Queue -> NOT SUPPORTED I am positive that we have use cases for specifying queue and contact information. I am not so sure about the others. Unless someone objects, I would propose to remove those attributes which have no JSDL equivalent, and we have no explicit use cases for. OTOH, Graeme points out that some JSDL attributes are unsupported: * JSDL_Description -> jsdl:Description * JSDL_JobAnnotation -> jsdl:JobAnnotation * JSDL_JobProject -> jsdl:JobProject * JSDL_DeleteOnTermination -> jsdl:DeleteOnTermination Again, I think we have no use cases for those, so I think they should be left out. Summary: We have following options: (A) leave stuff as is, and map in the implementation (B) update naming to reflect JSDL, and introduce the respective enums (C) remove attribs w/o JSDL pendant, unless we have an explicit use case I vote vor (B) and (C). Cheers, Andre. Quoting [Graeme Pound] (Apr 20 2006):
Andre,
I saw that SAGA JSDL compliance was an issue on your issue list.
Here are the mappings that I am using between JobDefinition attributes and JSDL elements. I am using these mappings to provide a SAGA compliant interface to the GridSAM service for the OMII.
This doc is a little old. The 'SAGA_*' attributes have now lost this prefix. The 'JSDL_' prefix indicates that an attribute is specific to the implementation and is not part of the SAGA spec.
