Make leveraging emerging resource (a.k.a container) modeling work easier Separation of the Information Model

© 2006, 2007 Open Grid Forum 4 Proposed solution Two documents A job description A resource description Goals Does the job meet the resources requirements? Does the resource meet the jobs requirements?

© 2006, 2007 Open Grid Forum 5 Proposed extension Use external (resource) information model Currently in work in OGSA-WG Define new requirements extension Container for XQuery expressions In place of jsdl:Resources element Complementary check (Job capabilities) Left for JSDL 2.0

© 2006, 2007 Open Grid Forum 6 Structure comparison (pseudo) ? * * And ? Other (Application) extensions JobRequirements extension to encapsulate XQuery fragment ? Your XQuery here ? * And etc. Also Dependencies and … JSDL 1.xJSDL 2.x

© 2007 Open Grid Forum 7 Job Requirements specification use cases: List of requirements jsdl 1.0 jsdl extension for and only requirements or requirements: A or B preferences: For example, RedHat over any Linux weighting: optionality: We are not saying JSDL-WG will do all the above; just to place in context what the group will do

© 2007 Open Grid Forum 8 Job Requirements specification use cases: (re-ordered) Things to do (eventually) jsdl 1.0 (done) First draft is jsdl extension for and only requirements Baseline for the XQuery extension Functionally the same as jsdl:Resources or requirements: A or B Later version or further extension optionality: Not in scope of JSDL-WG preferences: For example, RedHat over any Linux weighting:

© 2007 Open Grid Forum 9 XQuery JSDL extension for and / or only requirements (notes) Define a new element jsdl:JobRequirements Specify if it appears it MUST appear in jsdl:JobDefinition at the same level as jsdl:JobDescription Specify that if it appears jsdl:Resources SHOULD not appear Is this just XPath 2.0? Maybe (probably a subset of) Also getting some additional operators, e.g, not Need a test case to determine whether XPath or XQuery Is yes/no sufficient or also selection So XQuery Need a resource information model GLUE 2.0 Specify how to allow or use other information models Things to be careful Namespaces Make it a target that it should be possible to translate to jsdl:Resources and also to Condor, RSL, etc? ACTIONS: Ask about existing work for mapping XQuery to RSL or … (Steve) Is this the right approach or should we be looking at other approaches? (Group- think; come back with some argument on next call) Is yes/no sufficient for practical resource mapping or is also selection needed? (Donal)
