A major part of this framework is a language in which to describe the components and systems that are required. This document, produced by the CDDLM working group within the Open Grid Forum (OGF), provides a definition of the XML-based configuration description language and its requirements. Thanks to the authors/editors for work on this document. -- Greg Newby, OGF Editor
