Marty, Steven:
It is of course feasible, in principle, to define many different profiles
for OGSA. E.g., one could build one on WS-Transfer and friends, one could
build one that uses a different construct than the WS-Addressing EPR to
address things, one could define one that uses JINI mechanisms, one could
define one that uses CORBA, one could define one that renames all of the
current WSRF and WS-Notification calls to be slightly different (oh wait,
that's the first in the list (-: ), etc.
Given the wide variety of possible alternative profiles, it would be
helpful for those like me who are considering attending the BOF to know
what more specifically what the goal of this work is going to be. The name
doesn't provide any information, other than to imply, perhaps, that the
interfaces on which the WSRF profile builds are not in some manner
"minimal" and/or "simple." I.e., can you define the goals of the BOF more
precisely other than "not WSRF"?
Regards -- Ian.
