New document published: OGSA(R) Data Architecture
New OGF document published in the Information track: GFD-I.121 Title: OGSA(R) Data Architecture Authors/editors: D. Berry, A. Luniewski, M. Antonioletti Abstract: The Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) presents a vision of a broadly applicable and adopted framework for distributed system integration, virtualization, and management. OGSA provides several capabilities, one of which is data management. This document, produced by the OGSA Data Working Group within the Open Grid Forum (OGF), gives a high-level description of the interfaces, behaviors, and bindings for manipulating data within the broader OGSA architecture. The functionality described covers the storage, movement, access, replication, caching and federation of files and databases.

New OGF document published in the Information track: GFD-I.122 Title: Grid Network Services Use Cases from the e-Science Community Authors/editors: Tiziana Ferrari Abstract: Network services are specialized in the handling of network-related or network-resident resources. A network service is further labeled as a Grid network service whenever it has roles and/or interfaces that are deemed to be specific to a Grid infrastructure. We provide a high-level, structured description of some well-understood Grid network services use cases. The purpose is to facilitate the identification of network services critical to the Grid middleware and user applications in e-science, and to identify relationships.

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
(Apologies for not sending some of these announcements earlier; there are several new documents to be announced in my next email messages to wg-all. The OGF's Steering Group has decided that new documents should be announced to all members of all OGF mailing lists.)
