Re: [SEM-GRD] towards the primer

Thanks - 

Let me split that into two and throw it open...

1. Example (RDF) metadata about data and/or compute resources, 
2. A deduction system and rules for that deduction system applicable 
to the metadata and an example conclusion.

So, can anyone rise to this challenge?  Examples please!

Re 1, there are many examples of catalogue-style metadata for data
resources (cf dublin core) but I'm sure people can provide some richer
examples.  For compute resources there are some specific examples I 
can think of including:

- in the GRIA project we are expressing metadata relating to
application specific feature vectors, workload estimation output 
vectors and capacity estimation parameter vectors
- the work of the scheduling ontology guys stems from a scheduling 
dictionary and maybe they can provide an example?  (Maybe something
from GRIP?)

The other metadata examples that spring to mind are about functionality 
of services rather than description of data/compute resources, but if 
we accept an OGSA world then the resources get wrapped by services so 
it blurs.

If people can provide some concrete examples that would be great.

Thanks
