[UR-WG] UR for storage accounting

[Andrea Cristofori]

Hi all,

I started to put together some ideas regarding the storage accounting. I 
am taking, as a reference, the "Usage Record - Format Recommendation" 
Draft from 22nd of September 2006. Is there anything more up to date?
In the description there are references to a name space that looks like 
is not available any more:

http://schema.ogf.org/2003/09/urf

Am I doing something wrong?

Andrea
