Since GLU has been working for some years, and it provides much of the
required functionality of the VO Registry, it is an obvious candidate for
study by those desigining the next generation Registry. I just came
across a useful presentation on how GLU works, by Pierre Fernique of CDS,
in a PDF file at: http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/meeting1/GLU.pdf
Other presentations on SOAP and related subjects from the same meeting are accessible from http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/meeting1/planning_en.htm (note: some of them are in French).
I also found the FAQ on Web Services at CDS particularly easy to
understand (this page is in English):

Enjoy,
