[UR-WG] So long and thanks for all the records

[Henrik Thostrup Jensen]

Hi everyone

As of January 1st, I am no longer employeed at NDGF (now working on 
network stuff at NORDUnet for the curios), so I will be signing off from 
the list in a few days.

I will leave you with a bit of input for the continuation of the storage 
records and usage (computation) records

For storage records:

I proposed (and argued heavily for) the measuretime + duration setup for 
storage records. In theory it is the best (most correct) solution, but in 
practice it becomes a bit tricky to work with (not impossible, I 
implemented it in SGAS), and in the end I think will cause more confusion 
than gain, so it could be considered using start+end time. Using only 
measuretime is a bad idea though, but I'll refer people to the archives 
for that discussion.

For usage records:

Please consider some of the extensions that was made in SGAS for 
standardization. A list of the extensions can be found here:

http://svn.cs.umu.se:8765/sgas/browser/luts/luts3-service/trunk/docs/UR-extensions

(they are not all suited for standardization, so use common sense and 
discuss them).

All the best.


     Best regards, Henrik
