   US:    +1 718 3541071 (New York) or
          +1 408 9616509 (San Jose)
   UK:    +44 (0)207 3655269 (London)

Screen share service will be provided.
   URL:         http://ogsa.glance.net
   Session key: 1002
   See more explanation:
   https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/wiki1584?nav=1

1) Early discussion (20 min)
         Note taker assignment
         Roll call
         Telecon minutes approval (Sept. 25)
         - https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc13903?nav=1
         Action Items status review (see the bottom of this email)
         Agenda bashing

2) Information/data modeling Xquery (Ellen, 30 min)

Minutes from GGF18:
> generate 3 to 5 queries that might be issued; would like to use as a
 > starter set for usefulness of XML document and to show how it would
 > look like in XQuery.

3) Separation of service/info model (Tom, 30 min)

Minutes form Sept. 25:
>    - Another open issue is how does the Information Model work (in
>      context of DMTF) comes together with the EGA reference model
>      (dags).
>      - A possible viewpoint is that the EGA Reference Model is the
>        overarching model: 
>        - With specific/concrete stuff mapping to CIM
>        - But some more abstract stuff do not map to CIM easily
>      - There is some more abstract work in the SMIS space and this
>        will end up at some point in DMTF schema
>      - So the DMTF might be an eventual consumer for some of this work
> 

         Tom will send a note to the list (to: Ellen S and Fred M)
         on why the current separation of service/info model may
         not be quite right.

4) Removal of container model from BES spec appendix (Ellen, 10 min)

Ellen's email:
> The intent of this appendix is to provide the container model as an 
> 'informational' appendix so it can be submitted to DMTF as concrete 
> proposal for inclusion in the DMTF CIM and a context for why a container 
> model is necessary.
> 
> The inclusion of the model in the BES spec does not imply that OGSA must 
> implement this CIM container model to implement BES; it is merely an 
> abstraction for a general container model where BES can provide context 
> for the need and implementation of a specific container model.  If this 
> point doesn't come across in the appendix text, I have no problem 
> modifying the text.

5) Wrap up (10 min)
         AOB
