Subject: Clark 2/23/2005: ebXML Spec External Messaging
Today, at JC call, Jamie, we discussed the need for salient summaries for use for external messaging (topic you raised at 9 Feb meeting). Here is a starting summary I distributed to and discussed with the (members present) JC team today. What this doesn't include is: * Pending: Further JC or TC input * Question: Inclusion of ebSOA (do we go there too for architecture) * Question: Inclusion of CC (do we go there for CEFACT) * Question: Adoption indicators (may be another external messaging discussion) Please let me know your druthers and how to proceed. Thanks. ============================================================================================================ Summary of specification progress within OASIS: * ebMS: v3.0 o v3.0 draft in work. F2F held in January 2005, however progress has been slower than anticipated with a small group. o Although progress has been slow, key changes are in work such as integration with WS-Reliability, payload services, security improvements, WS-I BP conformance, at a minimum. o Working document reference: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-msg/download.php/11373/wd-ebms-3_0.html (February 2005) o Status: May meet at OASIS symposium. No projected date for v3.0 Committee Draft status. * ebReg/Rep v3.0 o v3.0 RIM and RS achieved Committee Draft in February 2005. Public review has begun towards OASIS standard. Review notice: Public review continues to 14 March 2005. Significant improvements have been made including SAML support, WS-I BP compliance, event notification, content management capabilities, etc. o Specification references: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/regrep/document.php?document_id=11383 o FAQ summary: http://www.ebxml.org/ebusinessxmlregistry.pdf o Capabilities summary update: http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2005-02-14-a.html (from Cover Pages) * ebCPPA v2.1 o Errata v2.1 distributed in draft form in early February 2005. Work continues slowly on negotiation and alignment with ebMS and ebBP specification development in the areas of role bindings, transactions, etc. o Progress has been made in abstracting some of the ebCPPA concepts to enable effective use of many underlying protocols such as those for web services, AS2, etc. o Errata v2.1 reference: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-cppa/document.php?document_id=11280 * ebBP: v2.0 o v2.0 working draft is entering formal TC review starting today, 23 February 2005. Package includes schema, XSLT example transform for v1.01=>2.0 migration, signals schema and example, comments and work item list, glossary. o Many improvements have been made in state transitions, composability (ComplexBTA and OperationMapping), role binding and monitoring constructs. In addition, the BT patterns have been concretized and extensible patterns developed to enable the user community. o Working package was uploaded (and then revised) 22 February 2005. A pre-notification has been developed for key user communities to solicit early comments and investment. This will be distributed after the working draft enters the TC formal review (internal only) in preparation for Committee Draft vote. o Specification draft reference: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-bp/email/archives/200502/msg00136.html o Pre-notification reference: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-bp/email/archives/200502/msg00135.html * ebXML IIC v1.1 o In January 2005, the IIC updated its conformance and interoperability packages including the IIC framework and achieved v1.1 Committee Draft status. This v1.1 update provides many improvements, and has also resulted in a freely available implementation from NIST. Improvements include more comprehensive web services and ebXML testing support. The team has also been working with OASIS on interoperability planning for expanded activities within OASIS standardization development and with a TAB subteam that is investigating how to rationalize conformance criteria (including informal discussions with W3C). o NIST open implementation: http://ebxmltesting.nist.gov/. Three implementations have been conducted by NIST, Korbit, and Drake Certivo. o v1.1 IIC Committee Drafts: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-iic/document.php?document_id=10896
