Roy et al.,
I do not see any difference between this diagram and the one sent out last week. Is it the wrong attachment?
I shared the picture with the NVO folks here at STScI and JHU. Collective comments are as follows:
o What is the point of the various up-down arrows between the portals and the middle layer? Different colors, different widths?
o Seems like Exisiting Data Centers should underly the whole of the structure, perhaps consuming the Disks, Tapes, CPUs, Fiber box.
o The two arrows from Semantics (UCD) both seem to go to My Space.
o Cone Search is not included in the access protocols.
o What are the blue things next to OpenSkyQuery and VOTable?
o Why is ADS called out separately?
o Why does OAI turn back on itself?
o Shouldn't the light gray area that includes computational and analysis services extend fully between the access layer and the data centers/grid layer? As drawn now it looks like these services are available only through Grid Services, or perhaps through Grid and some SOAP Services.
Cheers,
Bob
