[ogsa-wg] Glossary terms: enterprise, enterprise computing and e-Science

[Toshiyuki Nakata]

Hello:
I have not been active in OGSA but, I do participate in EGR-RG (Enterprise Grid Requirements) RG
so my two cents' comments.

> 
> ·       Operation of enterprise applications such as CRM and ERP.
> 

How about numerically intensive applications used in the enterprises such as
Cirucuit simulation, financial calculations such as Risk analysis?

In EGR-RG, we decided that it would  become very difficult to draw a line, so 
have made no definitions on the bounds of applications themselves
Best Regards
Toshi
