[ur-wg] UR-WG Concall meeting notes - May 25 2006

[Laura F McGinnis]

(Sorry for the delay - too much holiday & life interfering with work)

On the call: Stephen, Matt, Donal, Sven, Laura

1) Status on comments - how active is the mailing list?
	++ Getting good response to comments posted to mailing list. Will
keep encouraging use of mailing-list as key communication tool.

2) Review of GGF17 notes
	++ Aggregation seems possible with current schema, but should be
reviewed with more detail
	++ "Aggregate" vs "Composite" vs "Summary" are not well-defined, but
it's not worth dwelling too much on this right now, since the initial
specification is for an atomic record and any combinations thereof have
already been declared Out of Scope.
	ACTION ITEM (Donal): Make sure atomic schema is complete and
sufficient

3) Discussion of comments that have been responded to - Do we have consensus
on anything yet?
	++ Comment 6c/9: Coordinate Status values with SAGA/BES model;
whatever states they have, UR needs to support
	++ ACTION ITEM (Laura): Remove wording that indicates "Job
Completion"; references to end-date/time may indicate a snapshot rather than
a true end-of-job
	++ Comment 3.9 refers to job status; it should be address/covered in
response to 6c/9
	++ Comment 5b: the discussion focused on start-time, but the
question/comment is more about the definition of a "grid job". Discussion
needs to be refocused.
	++ Key issue is to get definitions for "atomic", "composite", and
"aggregate" circulating.

	ACTION ITEM (Donal): develop working definition for "atomic"
	ACTION ITEM (Laura): draft context text for document and circulate
to mailing list

4) Discussion of comments that have not been responded to - as time permits.
	<<time did not permit>>

Thx
LM
