Measurement and prediction of network resources arecrucial so that adaptive applications can make use of Gridenvironments. Although a large number of systems andtools have been developed to provide such measurementservices, the diversity of Grid resources and lack of central control prevent the development of a single monitoringsystem that can be deployed to answer every application'sresource queries for connections between any pair of machines it can use. We propose a standard for representingnetwork entities and measurements of their properties. Ourstandard enables the exchange of measurements and willallow applications to function even in environments without the particular measurement system for which they weredeveloped. We present an overview of our measurementrepresentation and evaluate its usefulness. We have usedthe characteristics hierarchy to store and exchange measurement data between several systems, and we discuss itsusefulness in comparing the output of several measurementtools.
