[ogsa-wg] Workflow Interoperability and Sharing Survey for WFM-RG

[Jinjun Chen]

Workflow interoperability and sharing are not a new topic. They have already
been there since 1993 when WfMC was established. I would like to suggest
that we pay more attention to what have been done by WfMC.

Best wishes,
Jinjun
