Things what we did • What is the difference between a registry and a catalog? • What do we mean by naming? • What does OGSA define? • Using projects represented, try to categorise and identify common themes
Things to note (1) • There is no reference framework to allow us to compare our registries / catalogs • The definition of the naming layers is confused • The standards used by the implementations seem to be based on when they were built • GLUE schema • LDAP • ServiceGroupRegistries • WS-RF
Things to note (2) • No projects are using UDDI • But ETF in UK is deploying UDDI for registering services • This is also the UK Grid Strategy • We are moving towards using databases to maintain persistence • The GLUE Schema does not do everything • Everyone has extended it to suit their purpose • There needs to be a way of capturing what’s good in GLUE+extns in CIM
Other things we should look at • How do these groups define registries and naming? • DNS • ebXML • DAML
