[ogsa-wg] Final Glossary 1.5 uploaded

[Treadwell, Jem]

Hi,
 
Thanks to everyone who participated in the "last-call" discussion,
especially to Dave Snelling and Dave Berry for the final wording.  I've
now uploaded drafts 10 & 11 of the Glossary, for Andreas to submit for
publication.  Draft 10 incorporates the last-call comments and has all
of the 1.5 markup, and Draft 11 has all changes accepted.
 
These are the two definitions that changed, per discussion at last
week's f2f:
 
Agreement: 

An agreement defines a dynamically established and dynamically managed
relationship between two parties.  The object of the relationship is the
exchange of services between the parties within the context of the
agreement.  The management of this relationship is achieved by agreeing
on the respective roles, rights and obligations of the parties. The
agreement may specify not only functional properties for identification
or creation of services, but also non-functional properties of the
services such as performance or availability. 

Entities can dynamically establish and manage agreements via Web service
interfaces.

 

See https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/graap-wg for information about
work being carried out by the GGF's Grid Resource Allocation Agreement
Protocol (GRAAP) working group.
 
Endpoint, end point:
 
A specific location to which a client may bind in order to access a Web
service, using a specific protocol and data format.
