Hi, We are sending a refactoring based Jay's proposal for discussion at the next teleconf, if possible. Apologies (especially to folks in Japan) for not respecting the 48 hour rule. This work was done by Dave, Hiro and I. There's a lot to like with Jay's taxonomy. We thought to highlight, as Dave put it in an earlier email: > the interface (portType) factoring that takes place between OGSI and the top level services. In case you don't have a copy of Jay's original document (and GridForge is still down) you can pick it up from the ogsa-wg mailing list archive.
