The presentation gave the current status of the group A great deal of work has been done on translators between information systems. For each participating infrastructure an information provider has been created which queries that infrastructure and outputs the information in LDIF in accordance to the Glue Schema. These information providers were used to setup a BDII (gin-bdii.cern.ch) that contained information from the participating infrastructures. Using this information different use cases can be tried. The first use case selected was the "site on a map" use case. For this use case, three values are required; an identifier for the site, the latitude and the longitude. Using this information it was possible to use Google Earth to show the location of the sites and the grid affiliation. The conclusion of this work was that to query on information system and populate another was straight forward. The limiting factor was the information available in the information systems. The information required will be defined by the use cases and hence we need to identify information required for the "cross-grid" use cases.

Outcome of Discussions: The NGS infrastructure would like to be included in the gin-bdii The DEISA infrastructure would like to be included in the gin-bdii gin-jobs would like to be able to find all the Computing Services to which the GIN VO has access.

Action List: Ensure that the Google Earth demonstration is in good shape for SC06 Add NGS to gin-bdii Add DEISA to gin-bdii Ensure all grids publish the information required for the site on a map use case Agree on the information required for the gin-jobs use case. Ensure all grids publish the information required for the gin-jobs use case.
