Correct me if I am wrong, but the concept of Service came later in
Glue1. You did that for Glue1 5 years ago.

I think is bad choice.

It's not a waste of time and I feel a bit offended by such comment.

It's actually a useless duplication of information to have both Service
and Endpoint reporting the same string as ServiceType and IntefaceName,
unless these services are completely decoupled and independent.

We should *really* think what we want to represent with these concepts.
I expressed my views in the previous email.
Just to remind text in the GFD147:

  "The Service class enables unique identification of instances of these
concepts [Endpoints and the other entities] participating in the
provision of some *unified* capability."

I don't know the globus technology so well, but I have the feeling these
Endpoint provide some *unified* capability and should be tied together
by a single Service.

I am a newbie, please give me a description of these services and we'll
discuss. The strings alone have no meaning to me.

Regards,
Florido
