[glue-wg] Rough Draft of the Glue Use Cases Document

[Laurence Field]

Hi Stephen,

I believe that the use cases are there to help us focus on what we are 
trying to achieve rather than to define the attributes. For some simple 
use cases the conclusion on what attributes we need is straight forward 
but for others it is not clear. This may mean that the use case needs 
more detail or just that there is not an easy answer. If you think that 
in general the style is wrong or that a few use cases are inconsistent 
with the style of the rest, please let me know.

The document describing the Storage Element Model for SRM 2.2 has been 
upload to the grid forge. I  went  though the document to pull-out the 
use cases. The document is quite low level when it comes to the use 
cases and the use cases are presented with the solution in mind. I tried 
to generalise them so that they are not specific to the current 
solutions.  Felix Ehm will be going through these use cases in more detail.
