• communication protocol

  • Candidates: Corba, C-API, WSDL/SOAP
  • Should we agree on a single protocol
    • No
  • Should we agree on a single minimal protocol
    • Yes, for interoperability
    • Leading choice: WSDL/SOAP over https
  • Consistent with OGSA
    • However, they permit binding to any protocol at “implementation” step
    • We prefer a default choice
