* GFD-I.190 "Mapping between DFDL 1.0 Infoset and XML Data Model."  S. Hanson, via DFGL-WG

This document defines the mapping from DFDL 1.0 Infoset to W3C XDM, and from W3C XDM to DFDL 1.0 infoset.

* GFD-R-P.192 "Web Services Agreement Specification (WS-Agreement) [Obsoletes GFD.107]." A. Andrieux, K. Czajkowski, A. Dan, K. Keahey, H. Ludwig, T. Kakata, J. Pruyne, J. Rofrano, S. Tuecke, M. Xu, via GRAAP-WG.

This document describes the Web Services Agreement Negotiation Specification (WS-Agreement Negotiation), a Web Services protocol for negotiating agreement offers between two parties, such as between a service provider and a service consumer. An agreement offer negotiation may then result in the creation of an agreement using the WS-Agreement specification (published as GFD.192). WS-Agreement Negotiation can also be used to renegotiate an existing agreement.

* GFD-R-P.193 "WS-Agreement Negotiation Version 1.0."  O. Waeldrich, D. Battré, F. Brazier, K. Clark, M. Oey, A. Papaspyrou, P. Wieder, W. Ziegler, via GRAAP-WG.  

WS-Agreement Negotiation provides an additional layer to create agreements with WS-Agreement. To achieve this, it defines an extensible XML language for specifying agreement offers and agreement templates. These templates are WS-Agreement-compliant and include a negotiation context and a set of negotiation constraints that are used for the negotiation. The specification includes all schemas required for the negotiation and the necessary port types.
