[ogsa-wg] OGSA-D status report

[Dave Berry]

Here is a report of OGSA-D activity for the last month, as input for
tonight's OGSA call.

----
Our f2f meeting in London produced very useful technical discussion.  It
was especially valuable to have representatives of several major
activities present.

We have a working draft of the architecture document for discussion at
GGF.  Work on this document has made significant progress but it still
contains many holes.  Recently we have begun work on a companion
scenarios document; this is needed to show how the elements of the
architecture fit together.

We have begun work on a memo about security concerns for data services.
Our aim is to initiate a dialogue with security teams to make sure that
their work addresses our needs.  We note that other groups (such as the
LSG-RG) also have activity in this area.

We have three sessions scheduled for GGF14.  One is an outreach session
at which we will present our work.  The other two are technical
sessions, on data transfer and transactions.

Telcon minutes are available on the OGSA-D WG GridForge site.
