    • important to limit the scope of the SAR
  • Scope/Aim of SAR
    • Is it just how much space is used
    • Or does it include access/transfer statistics, and how detailed?
    • Is this information even logged in middleware
    • Some data is probably available, how much and how detailed is the issue
    • Ask middleware developers
• OGF UR Standard
  • Some elements can be shared, but only a few
  • The UR as-is is not strictly extensible in the XML sense of extensible
  • Creating a unified record collection will take a lot of time
  • We have 2 months

  • Should we prepare something? Slides?
    • Jon will make some slides presenting the EMI work
    • Henrik will make a presentation/slides of the draft
  • Should something specific be brought up for discussion?

• Next meeting
  • Next regular meeting interferes with OGF30
    • Jon will send out suggestion for alternative time
  • Could we have that meeting on something other than phone conference?
