Charter for OGSA-D-WG
Date 2013-05-18
Group Abbreviation:
ogsa-d-wg
Group Name:
OGSA-Data Working Group
Area:
Data
Group Leadership:
| Dave Berry | daveb@nesc.ac.uk | Chair |
| Allen Luniewski | luniew@us.ibm.com | Chair |
Group Summary:
The OGSA Data WG is producing a data architecture as part of the larger OGSA effort. This data architecture describes the data services in the OGSA architecture and explains how they can be orchestrated to implement a range of data-oriented capabilities.
Charter Focus/Purpose and Scope:
The scope of this working group (WG) is to produce an overall data architecture for OGSA. It will identify message patterns and interfaces that form part of that architecture. Where possible, it will use existing specifications to form appropriate parts of this architecture, liaising with the groups defining those specifications to encourage them to fit into the overall OGSA picture. Where existing specifications are not available, the WG will encourage the creation of new groups to fill the gaps. The proposed WG will not define detailed specifications itself, leaving this for other groups.
Goals/Deliverables:
Title: OGSA Data Architecture
Abstract: The aim of this document is to define a proposal for the sub-set of the Open Grid Services Architecture that addresses the storage, movement, and manipulation of data.

Seven Questions:
1. Is the scope of the proposed group sufficiently focused?
2. Are the topics that the group plans to address clear and relevant for the Grid research, development, industrial, implementation, and/or application user community?
3. Will the formation of the group foster (consensus-based) work that would not be done otherwise?
4. Do the group's activities overlap inappropriately with those of another OGF group or to a group active in another organization such as IETF or W3C?
5. Are there sufficient interest and expertise in the group's topic, with at least several people willing to expend the effort that is likely to produce significant results over time?
6. Does a base of interested consumers (e.g., application developers, Grid system implementers, industry partners, end-users) appear to exist for the planned work?
7. Does the OGF have a reasonable role to play in the determination of the technology?
