Sorry for not answering before. I'm a little bit surprised that the DEISA accounting facilities are not mentioned in the document as far as I can see. Already more than a year ago we provided feedback from our project, see https://forge.ogf.org/sf/discussion/do/listTopics/projects.ur-wg/discussion....
But I never did see any follow up of this before the current document was distributed, but I may have missed it. I realize that we are not very actively attending the OGF sessions (just too many overlapping meetings), but we certainly are willing to contribute to these activities (recently we discussed with NDGF about joint further developments too).
Unfortunately we don't have an up-to-date document describing our current architecture, the most general description can be found in this document: http://www.ges2007.de/fileadmin/papers/jreetz/GES_paper105.pdf
The most important changes are that we don't base the usage retrieval anymore on WSRF based services and that we have a GUI based client DART (http://www.deisa.eu/usersupport/user-documentation/deisa-accounting-report-t... ).
I hope that this helps a little.
Jules, you're absolutely right to bring this up. Fixing things like this is exactly why initial drafts are important, but it is also why they are merely *initial*. The important thing is that we work together to make sure that the final version is complete. (And I'm very sorry for being slow to follow up on things: I've been snowed under with work. Not that anyone here should let me get away with such a poor excuse...) Donal.
