[ogsa-wg] OGSA Data WG status report

[Dave Berry]

Dear all,

Here is a short update of OGSA-D activity.  The OGSA-D (OGSA Data
Architecture working group was officially approved in late April by the
GGF Steering committee.  The WG now has its own place in Grid Forge and
its own mailing list (ogsa-d-wg at ggf.org).  The group continues to hold
weekly teleconferences, every Wednesday at 8 AM PDT (4 PM BST).  The
last two calls have focused on replication and storage management.  The
Data Architecture document is evolving with new material on replication
and DAIS being added in recent weeks.  We will hold a face to face
meeting on May 26 at Imperial College in London, following the OGSA WG
face to face meeting.  We plan to have multiple sessions at GGF-14
including a community update session, one on data transfer and one
possibly on transactions.
