[UR-WG] UR session @ OGF31 and latest storage accounting record draft from EMI

[Andrea Cristofori]

Hi Jon,

I hope I'm still in time for some short comments:

- From 2.4.5 to 2.4.9
it only specify the field type. I assume that the field is optional 
(e.g.: FileCount and DirectoryPath, if I use the information system to 
create a UR I don't know how many file are in the storage or the 
directory path to them).

- 2.5 Site
I agree that this information can be dynamic but when the record is 
created it belong to a certain site. I think it might be useful to have 
this extra information.

- 2.5 FileNames
Not much to say. It is written from the beginning of the document that 
for this UR definition you don't consider a per file accounting so it 
make sense that is excluded (I would have liked to have the field as 
optional but maybe this can be discussed more in OGF)

- 2.5 SpaceAvailable
I would add that it is also not in the scope of a UR.

- 2.5 Transfer Information
Indeed it is not strictly storage. But maybe in a more general 
definition it could make sense. But I agree because StAR is focused only 
on storage.

Unfortunately it's now clear that I won't be at OGF this time. I hope 
next time to be present.
Please send update to the list after OGF.

Thank you
Andrea
