[ogsa-d-wg] Fw: Updated Data Architecture Document

[Allen Luniewski]

The message below, with its attachment, has not made it to the list in ~17 
hours so I am concerned that the attachment (even though only ~1.2 MB) has 
caused a problem.  So, I have placed the document on GridForege at:

        /projects/ogsa-d-wg/document/Strawman-Architecture_V.6.0.3/en/1

Please see the note below for details about this version of the document 
and a request for feedback.

Thanks.

Allen

Updated Data Architecture Document





I have completed my pass over the data architecture document.  The updated 
document is attached to this note.

This note outlines what I have done and asks for your comment and 
feedback.  Once we have had an initial round of feedback and dealt with 
those, I will then place this version on Grid Forge as our current 
"truthful" document.

Here is a summary of what was done:
        - Terminology consistency.  I have tried to ensure that 
terminology such as data resource, data service, policy and agreement
                are used consistently in the document.
        - Places where work needs to be done by other WGs have been 
explicitly identified.  There are a lot of these!
        - I have tried to simply edit.  I have tried to avoid making 
semantic changes to the document.  If I have inadvertently changed the
                semantics of the document, this is almost certainly 
unintended.
        - The security chapter was moved to just after the "Architectural 
context" chapter.  It made no sense for such a generally applicable
                set of material to be at the end of the document.
        - The Data Access section is the last version that Mario 
published.  I have not edited it pending completion of Mario's work.
        - All "yellow background" text has been eliminated.  I either 
concluded that the text in the document already covered the issue
                or I took a stab at addressing it.
        - Some sections that are not in scope for this version of the 
document have been deleted.
        - All previous changes were accepted.  All changes in the document 
represent changes made in this editing pass.
        - Minor typographical, spelling and grammatical errors have been 
corrected.
        - There are a number of unbound references that need to be 
resolved.  I will do this sin the next pass - your help in finding
                proper targets will be appreciated.

A goal of this pass was to get us closer to a document that could be put 
out for public comment = a "clean" document if you will.  That is why much 
"extraneous" text was eliminated.

Please send your comments and feedback to the entire list or just to me, 
as seems most appropriate.  Next Wednesday's teleconference will be used 
to review this version of the document and all comments received up to 
then.

Allen
