Integration Architecture

Jeremy Espino and I had a call this morning where we talking about some of the software structure for the Proof of Concept projects. The summation is that across the projects, we'll be developing some new grid services: some as wrappers for existing functionality and some as new functionality.

As we develop these services we have to keep in mind how to create metadata to describe the function, use and test in addition to the standard service definitions of syntax, vocabulary and grammar.

We don't have anything yet, but the end goal of working with the three Proof of Concept projects (charters linked to on the left) is that we will have an architecture for service interoperability. This will be documented here as well as in the service metadata. Suggestions are welcome and as the group develops more, results will be posted.
