New OGF document published in the Information track: GFD-I.120 Title: Open Grid Services Architecture Glossary of Terms Version 1.6 Author/editor: J. Tredwell Abstract: The Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) document summarizes current understanding of the functionality required to implement a Grid infrastructure, and the rendering of this functionality into service definitions. In doing so, it uses many terms whose meanings may need clarification. Some of these terms are introduced and explained in the OGSA architecture document, while others are defined in other related documents. The purpose of this Glossary is to provide an unambiguous definition of such terms as they are used in the context of an OGSA Grid. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the OGSA architecture document, and does not by itself provide background information about Grids, nor attempt to justify the definitions or the context in which they may be used. The reader is referred to external documents for further explanation where necessary. View and download OGF documents here: http://www.ogf.org/gf/docs/?final -- Greg Newby, OGF Editor
