> Session Summary:
> 
> This workshop will provide a showcase of standards and community activity 
> within GGF by bringing together groups in three different areas 
> (Standards Applications, Community Industry Applications & Community 
> Research Applications). Through a series of presentations we will show 
> the current state of the standards activity and critically the current 
> barriers to pervasive adoption as perceived by the consuming user 
> community. Finally, a panel session will help to define areas of 
> collaboration and potentially new areas for standards development.
> 
> Session Description:
> 
> GGF has an active standards and community areas focusing on engagement 
> with application developers and tool builders in research and industry. 
> For these separate areas to work effectively we need to build a 
> relationship where the APIs being developed within the standards area are 
> relevant to the research and industry consumers, and in turn the 
> application and tool builders are communicating to the standards area 
> their requirements in terms of stable defined interfaces.
> 
> With the greater emphasis on GGF's redefined standards and community 
> functions, and the factorization of the standards area into having an 
> 'umbrella' research group to drive the coordinated development of a set 
> of consistent APIs across several working groups, there is a need to 
> establish the communication links between the standards and community 
> areas for Applications.
> 
> This workshop, hopefully the first of many, will start to establish the 
> communication links and provide a showcase as to the current state of the 
> standards development and the current priorities for application and tool 
> development in industry and research. In addition, it will provide a 
> general dissemination mechanism of activity to developers and users (both 
> critical consumers in terms of achieving pervasive grid adoption) and the 
> wider GGF community as to activity in the standards and community areas.
