Implementations: GridSAM, wish to do so, if effort can be found longer term.  Interface: transport agnostic - can be either REST or SOAP. UNICORE imp. compliant with existing spec (supports basic use cases ftp -> ftp, gridftp -> gridftp).

To follow through this through EGI?  EMI: UNICORE implementation, IGE: Globusonline.org.
