Comment: Proposed Charter for OASIS Service Component Architecture Assembly(SCA-Assembly) TC

[Brent Miller <bamiller@us.ibm.com>]

Regarding the proposed SCA-Assembly
TC charter item #14:

14. Packaging and deployment of SCA related artifacts,
including the relationship 
to a runtime and characteristics of the runtime are part of the specification.
   
SCA Artifact resolution, plus the use of existing non-SCA mechanisms. SCA
Contributions and their metadata.  SCA packaging format.

This seems to relate to the OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor (SDD)
TC, which specifies metadata for software packaging and deployment (see
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=sdd ). As the
chair of the OASIS SDD TC, I encourage the SCA-Assembly group to investigate
SDD as one way that item #14 of the proposed charter might be satisfied.
The SDD TC would be willing to work with the SCA-Assembly TC, once formed,
in this regard.

Thank you.

Regards,
Brent
