Working Groups
ByteIO WG (2 sessions)
Results of the OGSA-ByteIO Interoperability Fiesta commencing 20 July 2007.
Create and compile an Experience Document for OGSA-ByteIO. This mandatory
document will be the last publication of the OGSA-ByteIO WG advancing the ByteIO
standard to an OGF Standards Recommendation.
An example for higher level interoperation between Genesis II and OGSA-DAI
services was discussed. This may be taken forward as an MSc project in EPCC.
DAIS WG
Update on progress and discussion on RDF(S) specifications.
OGSA-DAI users group meeting
This workshop considered the complete spectrum of data work across OGF, from the
higher level vision being defined by the OGSA data architecture group; the data
standards being produced such as DAIS and ByteIO; the technologies realising these
standards such as OGSA-DAI and then to the end user developers trying to building
applications with these technologies.
Workshops
Globus and Community (4 sessions)
A high level overview as well several in-depth presentations for Globus tools.
I presented an overview of OGSA-DAI 3.0.
Closing panel for community questions.
• Growing complexity of the Globus toolkit and how this is being addressed by
the Globus Toolkit team.
• Standards – are they important for the components? Which standards are being
used?
• How do Globus components work together? It would be useful to see projects
that brought the Globus components together.
This workshop was useful.
GridNet2 workshop
OMII-UK: Reducing the gap between researchers and resources
Data Integration Solutions with OGSA-DAI
The workshop presented the new features and capabilities of OGSA-DAI and
provided an opportunity for discussion between users and developers.
Others
Attended the keynote by Steve Tuecke.
Progress
ByteIO interoperability testing
Interoperability testing for ByteIO implementations commenced on 20th July 2007.
Four implementations of the ByteIO interfaces participated in the tests.
An experiences document was created during an OGF 21 session. It is expected to be
concluded by OGF 22. Each implementation provides comments and experiences to
the document.
