Dear All,
This seems like an good starting point for all those investigating
Web Services and relation to OGSA. It even (helpfully) starts with a
definition..
Definition: A Web service is a software application identified by a URI,
whose interfaces and binding are capable of being defined, described and
discovered by XML artifacts and supports direct interactions with other
software applications using XML based messages via internet-based
protocols
Cheers, Tony

Subject: Web Services Architecture Requirements open for comment
There is now a stalking horse of architectural requirements for an architecture of web services.
The Grid is certainly not bound by what the councils at the W3C decide, but on the other hand some things will be available on a commodity basis that implement whatever is specified there.
The Grid Forum has done a lot of thinking about these issues, if there are any obvious glaring oversights in the requirements analysis going on there, it would be good to use this channel to make them known.
