[glue-wg] Adopting a GLUE2 XML Schema?

[Balazs Konya]

Dear All,

The completion of the glue2 specification in terms of updating (re-defining?) 
the renderings is still a pending issue. We have released the model but not yet 
the renderings.

I am happy to see that few groups started to work in this direction.

Let me point you to our wiki page where the different attempts are collected:

http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/GLUE2XMLSchema

(linked from main glue wiki under Realizations to Concrete Data models)

Within nordugrid we have also worked a bit on the xml schema, more or less 
updated it to match the final specification. You can find the nordugrid version
of the glue 2 xml schema here:

http://svn.nordugrid.org/trac/nordugrid/browser/arc1/trunk/doc/tech_doc/infosys/GLUE2.xsd

and here is an example xml document based on that schema describing nordugrid 
resources:

http://svn.nordugrid.org/trac/nordugrid/browser/arc1/trunk/doc/tech_doc/infosys/nordugrid_domain.xml

Before the summer i started a discussion with Sergio about the xml rendering 
update, we wanted to start/speed up the rendering work a bit. Unfortunately, 
lots of other thing slowed down the idea.

All in all, I agree with Stephen that it has to be a community effort.
I guess it is time to schedule for phone calls related to the xml rendering.

bye,
Balazs Konya
