The !GlueSite object in the 1.3 Glue Schema contains an attribute !GlueSiteOtherInfo. To quote.

{{{ The attribute is to be used to publish data that does not fit any other attribute of the site entity. A name=value pair or an XML structure are example[s] of usage. }}}

Guidelines for GlueSite Object

A format for publishing useful information about sites within the !GlueSiteOtherInfo is needed. || Key || Example || Type || Notes || || GRID || EGEE || [#validgrid List of valid grid names] || Multiple ones can be defined. || || WLCG_TIER || 1 || Tier level of site in WLCG context. || Either 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 || || WLCG_PARENT || UK-T1-RAL || Name of the higher (administrative) tier site in WLCG || The WLCG_NAME of the site at a higher tier with WLCG || || WLCG_NAME || IT-ATLAS-federation || [#lcgnames Valid WLCG Names] || An official WLCG name. || || WLCG_NAMEICON || `http://example.org/tier2.png` || Valid URL || URL to WLCGNAME icon, ideally 80x80 pixels. || || EGEE_ROC || SWE || text || Agree within your ROC what the field should be. || ||EGI_NGI||NGI_CZ||Valid NGI||Must agree with the GOC DB|| || EGEE_SERVICE || prod || prod, pps or cert || Which EGEE grid your site is part of, multiple attributes is okay. || || OLDNAME || Bristol || text || If your !GlueSiteName changes at some point please record your old name here. || || ICON || `http://example.org/icon.png` || Valid URL || Icon Image for your site, ideally 80x80 pixels || || BLOG || `http://scotgrid.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default` || Valid RSS or Atom Feed || Your site blog if you have one ||

Keywords starting with one of the grid names are to some extent reserved for that grid.

Distributed Tier1s and Tier2s

Within an WLCG context for instance there are instances of distributed Tier2s and Tier1s. If separate component sites want to exist as a single WLCG tier then they might contain common values for their WLCGNAME.

Valid WLCG Names

The WLCG names are the site names that appear within the LCG MOU concerning commitments to LHC computing. || WLCG Name || Current !GlueSiteName || || CA-TRIUMF || TRIUMF-LCG2 || || CERN || CERN-PROD || || DE-KIT || FZK-LCG2 || || ES-PIC || pic || || FR-CCIN2P3 || IN2P3-CC || || IT-INFN-CNAF || INFN-T1 || || NDGF || NGDF-T1 || || NL-T1 || SARA-MATRIX || || TW-ASGC || Taiwan-LCG2 || || UK-T1-RAL || RAL-LCG2 || || US-FNAL-CMS || USCMS-FNAL-W1 || || US-T1-BNL || BNL-LCG2 ||

For the tier two names please consult http://gridops.cern.ch/mou/ The column marked Accounting Name are the WLCG Names which in the case of Tier2s are the federation names. Use your federation name as your WLCG_NAME.

Also some tier2s live under more than 1 tier1 perhaps for different for different VOs. If your tier2 has more that one WLCG_PARENT then just add two distinct records to show this. Also some tier2s do not have a WLCGNAME at all.

YAIM Instructions

YAIM will have to be updated for those sites using yaim. This will be done and submitted to sites in the normal way. Please follow bug 34708 for progress. There is now a gLite patch, once released patch 1786. This has now been released as part of the EGEE release. 3.1.0 Update 27. || YAIM Variable and Value || Resulting Glue Attribute and Value || || SITE_NAME=RAL_LCG2 || !GlueSiteName: RAL-LCG2 || || SITE_DESC="Rutherford Lab" || !GlueSiteDescription: Rutherford Lab || || SITE_EMAIL= steve@example.org || !GlueSiteSysAdminContact: mailto:steve@example.org || || SITE_SUPPORT_EMAIL= steve@example.org || !GlueSiteUserSupportContact: mailto:steve@example.org || || SITE_SECURITY_EMAIL= steve@example.org || !GlueSiteSecurityContact: mailto:steve@example.org || || SITE_LOC="Soho, London, United Kingdom" || !GlueSiteLocation: Soho, London, United Kingdom || || SITE_LONG=52.45 || !GlueSiteLongitude: 52.45 || || SITE_LAT=-12.34 || !GlueSiteLatitude: -12.34 || || SITE_WEB="http://example.org/" || !GlueSiteWeb: http://example.org/ || || SITE_OTHER_GRID="EGEE|WLCG" || !GlueSiteOtherInfo: GRID=EGEEBR!GlueSiteOtherInfo: GRID=WLCG || || SITE_OTHER_EGEE_ROC="UK/I" || !GlueSiteOtherInfo: EGEE_ROC=UK/I || ||SITE_OTHER_EGI_NGI="NGI_CZ"||!GlueSiteOtherInfo: EGI_NGI=NGI_CZ|| || SITE_OTHER_EGEE_SERVICE="prod" || !GlueSiteOtherInfo: EGEE_SERVICE=prod || || SITE_OTHER_EGEE_SERVICE="pps" || !GlueSiteOtherInfo: EGEE_SERVICE=pps || || SITE_OTHER_WLCG_TIER=2 || !GlueSiteOtherInfo: WLCG_TIER=2 || || SITE_OTHER_<KEY>="<VALUE1>|<VALUE2>|<VALUE3>" || !GlueSiteOtherInfo: <KEY>=<VALUE1>BR!GlueSiteOtherInfo: <KEY>=<VALUE2>BR!GlueSiteOtherInfo <KEY>=<VALUE3> ||

As can be seen you want multiple values for !GlueSiteOtherInfo key to be set then just delimit your values with a |. If you want want of your values to contain a | then good luck to you.
