[sldev] [SVC] What is a Grid? (Searching for a hard definition)

[Meadhbh Hamrick (Infinity)]

right. i think we're less in the WSDL camp and more in the REST camp,  
so we might say that OGSA is a _type_ of a grid, but that we adhere  
more to something like what's defined in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing 
  with REST semantics layered on top of our services.
