Multiple Endpoints Per Service
Redevelop the xml_output module to implement nested XML collections
- probably using the Query2XML package. This is necessary because the existing XML Output module will only generate flat XML documents (e.g. that often map to individual DB entities). Currently SQL joins/associations between Sites, SEs and URLs cannot be represented as hierarchical/nested XML documents (for example, consider nesting multiple EndpointLocation objects and URLs within a single ServiceEndpoint element, see: Media:GocdbGlue2UnicoreV2.pdf). It is likely that this is a requirement for regionalisation to implement the proposed XML 'synch' docs described at: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/GOCDB/Release4/Regionalisation/Data_Transfer_Format
Render GOCDB data in GLUE2 Format
Extensiblity mechanism (Key-Value pair property bags)
- GOCDB/Release4/Development/ExtensibilityMechanism
- Simiar to the GLUE2 extensibility mechanim, the core GOCDB entities (NGIs, Sites, Services, ServiceGroups, Endpoints) will be extended so that they can define an optional set of custom key-value pairs with PI query support.
Update to Site Certification and Production Status Rules
- GOCDB/Release4/Development/conditionalCertificationStatusRules
- This involves removal of some obsolete site Production Status/Infrastructure values and conditional enforcement of site certification status transition rules depending on the Production Infrastructure.
VO Feed for ATP
- Use the Service Groups (VSites) to build a VO feed for ATP.

Longer Term Development Roadmap
- [Not confirmed] Support for VOs (maybe query SEs by supported VO)
- [Not confirmed] Regionalisation
- GOCDB4 Regionalisation Status and Plans - More details on regionalisation and progress of Standalone deployments within NGIs.
