[seek-dev] RE: xml metadata about a ecogrid service.

[Jing Tao]

Hi, bing:

it is okay for me to put the restrictions of service type in client APIs. 
By the way, in your service example, I didn't see providers element. Did 
you rename it?

Would you mind checking in a schema for service metadata into CVS? So it 
is easy for us to discussion. 

Thank you!
