Hi,
We touched upon this issue during a recent Glue Schema discussion.
The common consensus is that the tag published by the information system
should be defined to be the output of a command such as what Steve T
suggested "/usr/bin/lsb_release -d". At
The value published in the information system should not be used to try
and work out if your application can run at a site. With most VOs, the
software manager will install the VO software on the site and publish a
tag in the RuntimeEnvironment so that the VOs jobs can then be steered
to that site. The information could be used to help the VO manger
install the software but they should run some kind of probe job at the
site to check if what they require is on the worker node.
