GGF launches Grid standards wiki
Follow @infoworldThe SCRM working group within the GGF has launched a Wiki that attempts to corral the work done by the many different organizations that have their fingers in the cake of emerging grid computing standards.
SCRM stands for 'Standards Development Organization Collaboration on Networked Resources Management' which in and of itself is a mouthful. The Wiki is a collection of descriptions with links that leads the user to text on the actual standards and specifications.
This is a non-trivial task and the list of standards and specifications is quite lengthy. Included is a landscape section that is a proposal for a taxonomy to help define how this mass of specifications and standards organizations all relate to one another.
While I do believe that this is a noble effort, at a high level it seems to me that this is a whole lot of cooks to fit into one kitchen, especially given that there is more recipe writing than actual cooking going on ...
