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 On 09/27/2010 01:33 PM, john.gordon@stfc.ac.uk wrote:

Perhaps people should look at the OSG one and comment?

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.
