This is a Recommendation Track document, with a 60-day public comment
period.
When published, it will obsoletes GFD #147
Abstract: The GLUE specification is an information model for Grid entities
described using the natural language and UML Class Diagrams. As a
conceptual model, it is designed to be independent from the concrete data
models adopted for its implementation. This document defines the GLUE 2.1
model by extending the GLUE 2.0 model to include Cloud resources and
services. Rendering to concrete data models such XML Schema, LDAP Schema
and SQL are provided in a separate document.
Note that public comments are received via the Open Grid Forum Redmine

*GWD-R-P.237: NSI Connection Service v2.1*
Authors: Guy Roberts, GÉANT; John MacAuley, ESnet; Tomohiro Kudoh,
University of Tokyo; Chin Guok, ESnet
Abstract: This document describes the Connection Service v2.1, which is one
of a suite of services that make up the Network Service Interface (NSI).
The NSI is a web-service based protocol that operates between a requester
software agent and a provider software agent. The full suite of NSI
services allows an application or network provider to request and manage
circuit service instances. Apart from the Connection Service, this
includes the Document Distribution Service, which allows NSI documents such
as the NSI Topology and the NSA Description to be shared among
participating NSI agents. The complete set of NSI services is described in
the Network Services Framework v2.0.
This Connection Service document describes the protocol, state machine,
architecture and associated processes and environment in which software
agents interact to deliver a Connection. A Connection is a point-to-point
network circuit that can transit multiple networks belonging to different
providers.
*GWD-I.238: NSI Connection Service v2.0 to v2.1 Delta*
Author: Guy Roberts, GÉANT
Abstract: This document is an informational guide to the differences
between the NSI Connection Service version 2.0 and version 2.1.
