Description
EMI is a collaboration between the European middleware providers aiming to take the best out of each middleware to create one consolidated, all-purpose grid middleware. When EMI started there were two main tools for accessing data - gLite had lfc_util and the GFAL library, ARC had the ARC data tools and libarcdata2. While different in design and purpose, they both have the same goal; to move data in the grid. This presentation will explain the current plans, roadmap and status for EMI_datalib, the consolidated data transfer library.
