[OSGeo-Standards] WPS missing figure and OGF/OGC collaboration

[George Percivall]

The missing figure from the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) has been  
corrected.
The WPS now including Figure C.8 — Execute package class diagram, part  
1 is available here:
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=24151

A recent OGC-Open Grid Forum (OGF) workshop focused on WPS as a  
gateway to grid processing resources.  Two presentations of open- 
source WPS applications were made:
- WPS-G by Bastian Baranski, Universitaet Muenster
- SDI-Grid and the deegree Framework: Grid-enabling Open Source OGC  
Web Services - Christian Kiehle, lat-lon

WPS-to-Grid will be a major part of continuing collaboration of OGC  
and OGF.  We are interested in OSGeo's comments on this collaboration.
