[ogsa-d-wg] The big picture, version 2

[Allen Luniewski]

Dave,

In the first figure there seems to be a slight inconsistency in 
terminology.  The key says that blue ovals are services.  But the two 
middle blue boxes are labeled as being resources.  Now as I understand how 
things are modeled, a resource is not a service so this is confusing. 
Based on what this is trying to say, I fear that you are going to need to 
expand these two ovals and label them as services.   But, at the same 
time, add a data resource box inside of each so that the data transfer 
arrow is connected in a way that is consistent with the text.

I also realize that I must be confused about data transfer.  I thought 
that we were pushing the view that transfer occurs between data services 
in a logical sense.  But that the optimized implementation of data 
transfer would inevitably connect directly to the resources inside of a 
data service.

Allen

All,

Here is a revised version of the "big picture" architecture diagrams.
I've taken account of the feedback I received by e-mail and at last
week's meeting. 

Please take a look and send comments.

Dave.
