Duke, UCLA, CalTech, and UCSD have all been reviewing the means they would use to map the elements from their local databases that must be passed on to a collaborator in the course of a mutli-site collaboration in order to enable the next lab in the chain of collaboration to perform the processing they need to perform.
for a general and detailed description of all of the fields in the XCEDE XML Schema.
This table compares XCEDE XML Element & Attribute usage across the examples provided by the 4 labs
