Great, thanks for the link.

My reading of the situation is that they don't want to read all of GLUE2 
and GLUE2-JSON binding documents and try to understand it all to 
evaluate whether GLUE2-JSON makes sense for them.

Instead, I believe they want to use us as consultants; in particular, 
they want some concrete GLUE2-JSON examples to look at.  Something like 
a template they can use.

The pre-GDB link includes some examples in their proprietary format:

Can we describe this information in GLUE2-JSON?

Yes, I explained (or tried to explain) that XSEDE's existing code-base 
might or might not be useful for them.

Examples of their proprietary format are available from within 
Alessandro's Pre-GDB presentation.

Cheers,
