Karl, Ellen,

As I mentioned on the call today, I took the model and tried to start some markups around it. I'm really looking to get to the core implementation stuff ASAP. Attached is the word document with a resource state manageability capability specification that starts from the UML state model.
 
As you may see I didn't use UML to describe the capability itself and went directly to the angle-brackets. I'm starting to realize that this is the only reasonable approach for 0.5 version of the spec and for the interop event. I suggest that we start using the following approach:
	1. UML concepts model (including state models)
	2. For every manageability capability specify fragments that clearly define a) property schema [name-type] b) operation messages [XML fragments] c) event schema [name-type] d) possibly reusable type definitions [schema]
	3. A document that explains how to assemble the fragments from the item 2 into a WSDL description (possibly with WSRF, WS-Notification, WS-Security, WS-Policy or anything else we pick in the UPlat track).

I would be ready to rewrite the MOWS spec this way if the group likes this approach. I think it gets us closer to the gratification.

Subject: [wsdm] Draft 0.5, State working paper

Attached is update to state working paper to reflect what little work we finished the last few days.  It reflects the decision to do a simple machine, first definition of operations and a first draft of a UML statechart for the model.
