perfsonar development work

[Nina Jeliazkova <>]

Hello all,

We are discussing what information services should register into LS, 
besides service URL.  Recently, Jason advised to recognize service type 
by eventtypes, rather than by arbitrary strings like one found in 
"servicetype" parameter.

This seems to work fine with RRD MA services, but not all other services 
submit information about eventtypes when registering to LS. Is there a 
guidance what schema should be supported in this case?

Best regards,
Nina
