[glue-wg] Adopting a GLUE2 XML Schema?

[Warren Smith]

We were in the same position as you are on TeraGrid, which is why we 
defined our own schema. If you'd like to use the TeraGrid schema, I'd be 
happy to answer any questions you have about it. Also feel free to take 
it and modify it as you like.

Of course, the TeraGrid GLUE 2 XML Schema isn't a standard and I can't 
say how similar it will be to an official OGF GLUE 2 XML Schema. In 
fact, one warning I'd give about the TeraGrid schema is that we chose a 
flat hierarchy of XML elements in that schema (e.g. ComputeActivity is a 
sibling of ComputeShare instead of a child of ComputeShare). The last 
discussions I remember seeing on the GLUE working group list seemed to 
have more people favoring a deeper hierarchy...
