Ecogrid Breakout Nov 2004

Topics

These will be rearranged later into a more coherent agenda after they have been collected

• Review of 'put' and 'authentication' interfaces
• How to use stream rather than byte array as parmater in get and put operation
• Authentication, the Grid, and storing certificates in LDAP (see CertificateAuthorityDesign)
• Should we adopt MyProxy?
• Standardizing on LSID identifiers (see EcoGridIdentifiers)
• Also, how does EcoGrid functionality align with LSID implementation?
• Review of registry functionality and implementation
• Review of registry metadata
• Distributed computation: who leads -- kepler or ecogrid?
• Ecogrid web interface
• Ecogrid query translation
• How to specify queries in one language (e.g., EML) and query services from another (e.g., DarwinCore)
• Should EcoGrid be renamed to something else? SciGrid? KeplerGrid?
• Goals and work plan for the next year
