Preface

This document is intended to outline the administrator and user perspectives on the Globus Toolkit. In doing so, it will cover the services built on top of the reference implementation of various Grid protocols.

This document is not intended to be a developer's guide to the APIs/SDK of the Toolkit. Nonetheless, an understanding of the reference services built on top of the APIs may prove useful in further development.
