[ogsa-wg] [OGSA-D-WG] Definition of "data service"

[Natale, Bob]

+1 on both points made by Mario below...but I'd like to see the
definition of "Data Resource" posted along with the definition of "Data
Service" as it evolves, so that we can ensure coherence and avoid
redundancy.

Cheers,
BobN

I think it should be "the capabilities and data" as opposed to "or".
Similarly for the definition below. However, I think the one above
is more succinct and thus gets my vote.
