R: call for help on semantid grid primer

[Cannataro Mario <cannataro@unicz.it>]

Dear Carole and Dave,

I appreciated very much your hard work before and during GGF 
and I agree that this is the time to finalize the discussions we had.

I would contribute to Section 4 of the Primer,
and in particular to Section 4.3 "Knowledge aware Grid services".

Moreover, I have some suggestions about the Primer structure:

- Section 4 could include a sub-section, or perhaps an introduction, 
to knowledge services in general;

- although applications discussed at our workshop and in other GGF workshops 
were focused on scientific domains, I think that the Primer should also 
consider, if possible, non-science or business application domains, such as e-
commerce, Grid ASP, document management, etc. 
Section 5 could be splitted into two sub-sections accordingly, or we could add 
a Section 6 
"Semantic Business/Commercial Applications".

Thank you again
Mario Cannataro

>>Dear all
>>(you may have gotten an empty message with this subject 
>>(finger trouble!))
>>
>>We all had a lovely time at GGF9 and our fun fun workshop 
>>Semantic Grid. http://www.semanticgrid.org/GGF/ggf9/  for the 
>>presentation slides and 
>>papers.
>>Many of you have been enthusiastic about the meeting and 
>>generous with 
>>your praise. And our "yellow post-it for challenges" idea was 
>>borrowed 
>>by at least two other workshops :-)  Results of that on the web site 
>>soon as Dave has come up for air.
>>
>>So now to work!!
>>
>>We proposed the structure of a Semantic Grid primer. This would be a 
>>composite document where each section would be a (semi-)self 
>>contained 
>>docuument, and together the whole thing would form a 
>>definitive guide to 
>>semantic grids. The document would be "living" in the sense 
>>evolving and 
>>have a web version as well as a GGF compliant doc version.
>>
>>the slides about the primer Carole gave at the meeting are 
>>at: http://www.semanticgrid.org/GGF/ggf9/discussion.ppt
>>
>>For each section head below we need two section leaders. We 
>>would also 
>>like a couple of volunteer overall editors (it can't all be 
>>Carole and 
>>Dave!)
>>So far the volunteers are:
>>
>>Line Pouchard (Earth Systems Grid)
>>Mike Niemi (IBM)
>>
>>er, thats it!
>>
>>If we don't get many more soon we will start door-stepping 
>>individuals 
>>directly :-)
>>
>>A quick summary of the primer:
>>
>>target: Grid people (not semantic web) with Line Pouchard 
>>pressing hard 
>>for application stakeholders to be in there too.
>>deadline: next GGF summer school basis for a tutorial on 
>>semantic grid 
>>(June 2004, say)
>>
>>1. Semantics 101   (which we hope to get from the Semantic Web 
>>community, but still needs a chapter leader)
>>2. Ontology 101    (ditto)
>>3. Semantic Grid vision and roadmap
>>4. Practical Semantic Grid
>>    4.1 Grid compliant knowledge services
>>          What would it mean for knowledge services converted 
>>to be Grid 
>>services with life time management, state management, and fulfil the 
>>standards for service level agreements of Grid service portTypes.
>>    4.2 Grid aware knowledge services
>>          The adoption of Grid Base services by Semantic 
>>Services. e.g. 
>>Grid replication protocols for version management and cache-coherency 
>>for distributed ontology services
>>    4.3 Knowledge aware Grid services
>>          e.g. Resource scheduling using agent-planning techniques or 
>>semantic grid registries and semantic based discovery of Grid 
>>services; 5. Semantic Science Applications
>>    E.g. ontology for controlling data content
>>6. Examples, examples, examples. Of all of it.  (this would be a 
>>proforma we think which we would have people on SG projects 
>>fill out) 7. Where do I find out more?
>>
>>Can you please email us if you are willing to help and in 
>>what capacity. 
>>Carole is now at the semnatic web conference in florida where 
>>she will 
>>drum up support for sections 1 and 2;
>>
>>We plan for a telecon/access grid session with the volunteers 
>>and those 
>>who will be volunteered in mid November.
>>
>>Thanks for you support!!
