I will send the details to the list shortly.

consider that the document is an early draft. The main attempt was to 
merge GLUE 1.3 and NorduGrid schema into a common proposal with no 
backwards-compatible constraints. The main focus was the computing 
element for which me and Balazs are responsible.

As regards the Core schema, this was put just as a placeholder and is 
not yet a precise merge of the two (e.g., service data is missing). You 
have complete freedom of changing it in order to make it aligned with 
SAGA view before entering the real discussion.

Together with the .png files you can find the UML source code for the 
ArgoUML software.

Cheers, Sergio
