Since GRIDService are based on SOAP/WSDL one approach (that I'm
certainly considering) for GRID-IR is to base the query parts closely on
SRW.
(Not quite the right list) GRIDServices actually tend towards an object
oriented approach to WebServices, and since ZOOM is an Object Oriented
model, there is a nice GRIDService binding for ZOOM, which I have
referred to in the past to Mike. This binding does produce a lot of SOAP
traffic though.
I'm currently trying to write all this up (plus cover some other related
standards) for the GRID-IR group.
