Hi John, We have done a bit of chasing in EMI. OSG has a software project called Gratia (https://twiki.grid.iu.edu/bin/view/Accounting/WebHome) which, according to Brian Bockelman, implements the OGF UR with two storage accounting records, StorageElement (path, space token name, space type, etc.) and StorageElementRecord (dealing with measurements). Philippe Canal is head of the software project, he may be a good contact person. cheers, Jon On 29. sep. 2010, at 11.02, john alan kennedy wrote:
Hi John,
That's a good point.
Do you know where we can find it or do you have a contact person who we can talk to?
Google showed me that they just had a Storage Forum but I didn't find anything on their accounting as of yet.
osg-storage@opensciencegrid.org seems to be a possible starting point.
Did anyone else chase this up?
cheers johnk

Perhaps people should look at the OSG one and comment?

Just to confirm that EMI is indeed interested in having a usable definition of a storage accounting record before January...
The EMI data group is currently in the process of collecting requirements from user communities and storage providers, so not
much
input from us yet, but I'm certainly hoping for overlap between OGF
and
EMI work on this topic.
Given the short timespand of getting a record definition ready, I
would
strongly urge towards getting a rudementary format ready very fast and then iterating over the format multiple times (as requirements get in and showing the formats to the interested parties to see if it can fulfill their requirements).
If you wait to start defining the format until requirements have been collected there will be very little time to work with the record format.
