[ogsa-hpcp-wg] Proposed Changes to Data Staging specification

[Glenn Wasson]

Steven,

	I am in the process of making these modifications, but I had a few
clarification questions.

For #2, do we want to say that a compliant system must not support
<FileSystemName> or do we just want to say that the File Staging Profile
does not mandate support for this?

For 4a, do we want to say that the contents of this <Credential> element is
an <xsd:any> or a WS-Security Token? The former is more extensible, but that
later may be sufficient for our purposes here.

For 4b, does this belong in the File Staging Profile? Seems like something
that should be added to the Basic Profile (or some other extension).

Glenn

Based on my (& others?) implementation experience of this draft at SC07 I
would propose the following modifications:

1. Change the specification name from Data Staging to File Staging. [I know
I keep raising this... but data has very specific meaning to some people and
this spec does not cover it any form at the moment.]
2. No use of the FileSystemName element in JSDL
3. Scrap the StagingSchedule element in section 3.2
4. Remove the dependency of this specification on the Activity Credential
specification by:
  a) Placing a Credential element (wrapping a WS-Security authentication
token) within the JSDL DataStaging element if a specific credential is
needed for that file operation
  b) Placing a Credential element (wrapping a WS-Security authentication
token) within the JSDL JobDescription element if a specific credential
(different from the one used to connect to the service) is required to
execute that application on the resource.

There are probably other tweaks... but these would be my immediate issues
following on from the SC07 experience.

Steven
