[glue-wg] GLUE2 enumerations

Fri Jul 31 10:00:33 EDT 2020

For long-term maintainability, it might be valuable to move the official GLUE files as well as the document source to the OGF GLUE WG pages https://github.com/OpenGridForum/OGF-GLUE

We’ll be happy to provide full administrative access to the current group leadership and sere as a focal point for maintaining this area going forward.

Hi all,

Hello Florido,
Reviewing our last GLUE2 WG meeting on November 12, 2019 I see that we have not made visible progress on GLUE 2.1 action items. That is in part my fault which I’ll try to correct soon.

I think some of the enumerations introduced with GLUE2.1 are not part of the list on github. Actually the github repo itself is far from complete. But I guess due to the best effort basis of this work we stick to the enumerations that are most important, I guess ServiceType_t at the moment.

As for the languishing Enumerations pull requests, since this GLUE effort is purely volunteer, others can volunteer to review the pull requests and merge them. If nobody volunteers, and we don’t hear from David, I’m willing to help out.
Would you be willing to review and accept the changes to your "OGF GLUE2 Enumerations procedures and best practices” document so that we can post it and make it official after a brief comment period? With that document in hand it will be easier for myself or others to help maintain the list of Enumerations.

I can do.

Once the procedure is clear I have no problem accepting pull requests and doing the merges from time to time. Of course others are warmly welcome.

I also noticed a copy of the document is here in wiki format:

https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fredmine.ogf.org%2Fprojects%2Fglue-wg%2Fwiki%2FEnumerations_procedures_and_best_practices_v10&data=02%7C01%7Calan.sill%40ttu.edu%7C6f7a3037aac344878adc08d8352d9eed%7C178a51bf8b2049ffb65556245d5c173c%7C0%7C1%7C637317817371347451&sdata=bmczpbJ%2BJ10bgmN65UbVEZELmry1BsqYU9sUG%2BeUeMs%3D&reserved=0

Which is referenced in the GLUE2.1 specification so it must be kept up to date.

I guess the best is to keep that page and eventually change the version in the page but not the link.

Cheers,
Florido

JP
p.s. as you can see, we/XSEDE still want to engage and contribute to the GLUE WG

Hi all

I haven't been following the progress in this group for quite a while,
as a matter of fact I do not even know if this channel is still official.

I've been asked by Greg from UKRI STFC in UK (in CC) about the status of
the Open Enumerations registry at

 https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FOGF-GLUE%2FEnumerations&data=02%7C01%7Calan.sill%40ttu.edu%7C6f7a3037aac344878adc08d8352d9eed%7C178a51bf8b2049ffb65556245d5c173c%7C0%7C1%7C637317817371347451&sdata=8%2FZvSnnVR8byKY70stTPOgqhZaQjLTIYMGMp8IzPOks%3D&reserved=0

I recall David Meredith was taking care of merging pull requests but I
do not see any updated procedure anywhere and I think he is no longer
actively doing the merges.

I wonder how we should go about it. Right now most of my research group
is on vacation and I do not know how much NorduGRID/ARC is interested in
being part of this. If Greg and UKRI STFC are interested in maintaining
the registry I will gladly give them rights to approve merge requests.

My only complaint after a quick look at the current pull requests

 https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FOGF-GLUE%2FEnumerations%2Fpulls&data=02%7C01%7Calan.sill%40ttu.edu%7C6f7a3037aac344878adc08d8352d9eed%7C178a51bf8b2049ffb65556245d5c173c%7C0%7C1%7C637317817371347451&sdata=g7qHWhHFTeoZFhhVPogU66MiPgU5O5cj0xA9I%2FaolCU%3D&reserved=0

Is that some of the new strings are not all lowercase. I would prefer
they are all lowercase at least, to be consistent with the rest of
GLUE2. But I do not know what happened in GLUE2.1 and how much you kept
consistency. I must sadly say I lost interest long ago in the group
activities mainly for the lack of consistency in some that I believe
were critical decisions so my enthusiasm about the subject is low.

About the pending merge requests, I think the namespaces in the pull
requests are all well formed, one should check case by case how much
they conform to the expected values and how good the descriptions are, I
remember we had different opinions about these details as well but I
forgot what it was about.

I have the feeling the word ServiceType is overused as there is some
confusion about what is a GLUE2 ServiceType and what is a GOCDB
servicetype, but as said I've been far from this and lost track.

I'd say from my side as long as it doesn't affect ARC/NorduGRID
negatively I don't really care about which strings end up in this registry.

I think the main point is, was there ever consensus on this document
which defines formats and other similar things?

https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fredmine.ogf.org%2Fdmsf_files%2F13224%3Fdownload%3D&data=02%7C01%7Calan.sill%40ttu.edu%7C6f7a3037aac344878adc08d8352d9eed%7C178a51bf8b2049ffb65556245d5c173c%7C0%7C1%7C637317817371347451&sdata=naJLJKUUBA%2B4Tkvv05yO5NYgywxf0YpaG%2BmN3NcxkCA%3D&reserved=0

Clearly not since the document suggest scheduled venues for the merges
that clearly never happened. Sad. But partly also my bad for not
following up.

Would be nice to update such document and the information on github with
the actual procedure including pull requests.

Cheers,
Florido
