[rus-wg] RUS specification (draft 6)

[John Ainsworth]

I will update the wsdl and xsd to reflect Sven's changes. The new 
version 7 will follow. I can change the namespace to 
http://www.gridforum.org/2005/rus-wg (is this the official GGF format? 
I based it on the Usage Record WG namespace.)

There are some comments from Sven in the document I would like to 
address.

Page 6 - The text should read "for which they are permitted to 
contribute and view records".
Page 8  - What to do with RecordHistory. I agree that we do not need to 
return RecordHistory with the RUSUsageRecord. If we do separate it out, 
then I think we will need to be a new operation to retrieve it. 
Consequently the only other item left in RUSUsageRecord is the RUSId. 
Perhaps the retrieve operations should return only urwg:UsageRecord or 
urwg:JobUsageRecord, since we already have an operation to extract the 
RUSId for a query? This would give implementers the ability to chose 
how they store RUSId, (Job)UsageRecord and RecordHistory, as 
RUSUsageRecord is no longer exposed in the interface and so does not 
need to be specified.
Page 13 - Partial failure. If we do only return (Job)UsageRecords, then 
it would be impossible to determine which record corresponded to which 
ID in the case of partial failure, if the number of elements returned 
does not match the number of input RUSIds. We will have to return null 
some how for those which have failed, and specify that the order of the 
records in the response MUST correspond to the IDs in the request.
Page 17- Partial Failure. The operation result alone is not enough to 
determine which record was not delete, since it gives an aggregate view 
of the status. It would of course be possible for clients to derive 
this from the list of RUSId/status codes. So if anything needs to be 
removed it is the OperationResult.
