[ur-wg] UR Schema

[Laura McGinnis]

In the NSF's Teragid project, we use the schema to transfer usage data from 
the resource machines (at 9 different sites) to a central data repository. 
Different sites have different reporting practices: some sites collect and 
send atomic data, like CPU hours or wall time; other sites calculate usage 
based on an internal formula that corresponds to an NSF "service unit". 
Regardless of how the site measures "usage", the central database can 
collect a standard usage record for each job and then perform whatever 
calculations are needed to normalize everything into a single "teragrid 
unit". This maintains site autonomy while allowing for centralized management.

Is this the sort of information you were looking for?

thx
