Hi,

The OREP session at GGF15 will be held on Wednesday at 11am in the 
Charles River room.

We will be discussing the WS-NameMapper specification. A brief summary

This document describes a WS-RF interface for a NameMapper service. 
Mapping among names is useful functionality in a number of Grid 
contexts. For example, name mapping could be used in replica management 
to provide mappings between logical names for data items and one or more 
physical locations of data replicas. Second, name mapping can be used to 
associate the names of datasets or data collections with the files or 
other data objects that are members of the collections. Third, name 
mapping functionality is useful for storage resource managers, which 
expose a logical name for data items to the external world and map those 
logical names to physical locations on the storage device.

A set of requirements, important terms and key concepts are enumerated 
to provide background for name mapping and its use in the Grid. Then the 
core types, message elements, faults, resource properties and the port 
type are described. The full XML Schema and WSDL documents are included.
