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

[guru prasad]

This brings me to this question: What is the difference between and data source and a data resource?
 
 Is former just the container for data and latter is responsible for managing one or more data sources?

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.
