Indeed. When it comes to WS interactions enabled by federated identity,
the GN2 models are pretty mature, and being initially applied in the
perfSONAR measurement infrastructures. The profiles in use are described
in several sources, though for an initial introduction I'd recommend the
perfSONAR wiki: http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Authentication_Service_resources

Be goode,
