SAGA API Extension: Information Service Navigator API

This document specifies a Information System Navigator API extension to the Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA), a high level, application-oriented API for grid application development. This Information System Navigator API is motivated by a number of Use Cases collected by the OGF SAGA Research Group in GFD.70 [5], and by requirements derived from these Use Cases, as specified in GFD.71 [6]. It allows users to find additional information about services to that available via the SAGA Service Discovery API.
