Subject: RE: [wsdm] [UPlat] Action items for next weeks meeting
I guess I meant set in a very broad sense like the dictionary says: "A group of things of the same kind that belong together and are so used". I didn't mean any mathematic abstractions. I guess it could be a bag, but that would need yet another definition then. I would propose to fix my definition by saying "A collection is an unconstrained set of ..." -- Igor Sedukhin ..

We went around the trees several times when doing ServiceGroups in OGSI on whether it was a set or a bag. A ServiceGroup is a bag. There were several cases where a service might be included several time with different metadata being important for example. In manageability, my intuition says it should be a bag, but I can't find a good use case. -- Take care: Dr. David Snelling <d.snelling@fle.fujitsu.com> Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe Hayes Park Central Hayes End Road Hayes, Middlesex UB4 8FE +44-208-606-4649 (Office) +44-208-606-4539 (Fax) +44-7768-807526 (Mobile)
