[jsdl-wg] FYI: workflow discussion (was [Fwd: [ogsa-wg] Materials for tomorrows call])

Please attend the OGSA-WG call. Participation is open.

As additional background, at the last OGSA F2F (just before SC06) there
was a decision to set up a design team to research workflow issues
before deciding what kind of normative work should be undertaken, and in
which group. There is also a session planned for this for OGF19.
