[dmis-bof] Comments on the charter?

[Hiro Kishimoto]

Hi Bill,

Data transfer is one of key data services and I am very appreciate your
effort to standardize its interface. I've read your charter proposal
and have several comments below;

(1) SOAP/WSDL interface
I take it you define interface on top of Web Service. Do you plan to
define it on vanilla WS-I or OGSA WSRF Basic Profile? As an OGSA-WG
co-chair, I hope the latter. The better approach is hybrid; abstract
IDL semantic definition plus one or more concrete rendering definitions.
OGSA-Byte-IO's work gives you a good example.

(2) Relation to OGSA
I know you are active member of OGSA-D WG. Do you intend to place this
work in the OGSA data architecture? Or, you make it to be combinable
with OGSA works? If you agree to go with OGSA, the following guideline
gives you more advice.

(3) WG name
Since all GGF WGs work for standardization, I think you don't need to
name new WG as "Data Movement Interface *Standardization* WG." I think
- Data Movement WG, or
- Data Movement Interface WG
is better.

(4) Charter draft template
GFSG needs more information for charter draft.
Please use the OGSA-data WG's charter draft attached as an template
(which includes 7 questions you should answer).

Thanks,
