I haven't read the draft yet, but my take is that the entities we should
be considering are:

1) The service - the external job submission interface, e.g.
globus/condor/cream.

2) The batch system - which has so far never been explicitly
represented, but I think should be (in effect the batch system
properties are currently multiply represented in the CEs).

3) The share, which may represent a policy or queue, i.e. something
within the batch system (one batch system can have many shares).

4) The resource, i.e. the physical hardware (WNs).
