In today's call, there was a little bit of confusion over the topic of identity and compound usage records in Donal's strawman. After an off-line discussion with Matt Ford, I think I can make his question clearer with a more concrete example. In the strawman, we would be allowed to construct a document containing a compound usage record which itself contains a sequence of compound usage records, each of which comprises two atomic usage records, containing e.g. (1) some usage information about a compute job, and (2) usage information about an associated network reservation. As I understand it, Matt's question pertained not to the identity of the agent producing the record, nor to the identity of the ultimate end-user, but rather to how to identify the intermediate compound record as being about compute+network usage. I think what this comes down to is that the atomic usage records might need to be more strongly typed. Stephen
