5. lfm@psc.edu11 May 2006© 2006 GGF Low Hanging Fruit General Comments 5)The document represents a long-awaited attempt at standardization of resource usage records. We look forward to implement the format that will be agreed by the GGF participants. Still, much work has to be done in order to deliver an unambiguous specification that suits everybody and accommodates most important aspects. Evaluation: Thank you (editor will send).

6. lfm@psc.edu11 May 2006© 2006 GGF Low Hanging Fruit General Comments 15) The OGSA WG is working on an information model for Grid resources. It would be nice if the UR work and the OGSA work agreed on terminology, etc. But this may entail unwelcome delay in the standardisation process for UR. Evaluation: Talk to OGSA; schedule a joint WG session at GGF18
