BPDL: A Data Model for Grid Resource Broker Capabilities

Since the management and the optimal utilization of the highly dynamic grid resources cannot be handled by the users themselves, various grid Resource Brokers have been developed, supporting different grids. To ease interoperability and the higher level utilization of different resource brokers, we introduce a meta-data model for storing broker capabilities and show how an implementation of this model can be realized. We believe that this abstraction will help standardizing inter-broker communication to enable more efcient grid resource utilization.
