Meeting

 

12:00        roll call

 

12:05        review of minutes and actions from last meeting.

 

Minutes approved. Actions all set, except:

 

 

12:05        >F2F logisitics

 

WSRP/WSIA joint committee expecting to meet on Wednesday of the F2F, then WSIA in full on Thursday and Friday.

 

Suggestion that since WSRP and WSIA are biweekly they could share the same Thurday 12 EDT timeslot.

 

action: Rich ö to fire off a note to confirm move to this time, starting Thursday May 23

 

(Note, between meeting time and these minutes being written this time change was dropped. Keeping current Friday biweekly schedule until F2F).

 

 

12:10        Status of Embedded ö Rich

 

WSIA/WSRP Joint Interfaces and Protocols discussing merger of WSXL and IWS documents. Have done a high-level pass, discovered clash of terminology between (eg, ãinstanceä), cued up for discussion on Tuesday. The merged doc is now in a joint draft document. WSIA have discussed need for persisting data and good terminology is being deliberated there too.

 

WSRP Security had a ãRoleä discussion. Producers will want to declare roles, and Consumers will need to map roles that he supports to those the Provider supports. The interface in WSRP would stay the same, but the resultant markup might change based on the Consumerâs role.

 

Q: WSRP have a draft document yet?

A: No, only concrete thing is the RPWS doc, they are stillworking at an abstract level. Likely that our doc will drive into WSRP to support their requirements.

 

Aiming to get our draft document out onto the list for review a couple of weeks ahead of the F2F.

 

Need to separate Embedded from WSRP at some point. Aiming to make sure WSRP can build on whatever Embedded defines.

 

 

12:25        Status of Customized ö Charlie

 

Target for F2F is to have draft for internal review. Developing set of sub-scenarios, something in between earlier scenarios and technical requirements. Simpler subsets to use for more detailed requirements, currently have 8 ö 10 submissions. Pete Quintas has some multimodal scenarios, Eilon some from configurator space.

 

Making progress and refining ideas right now. Will send out latest doc and minutes to the general list.

 

action: subcommittee leads ö please send out minutes from subcommittee meetings to the general list to help everyone else to track and give feedback

 

 

12:30        WSIA WSDL-specific interfaces ö Ravi

 

Had 2 meetings, problem that no concrete stuff has come out of other WSIA subcommittees yet. so nothing concrete for this subcommittee to work on. Decision was taken in the subcommittee to keep the subcommittee active but to suspend meetings for the time being, until more specific (eg Customized) requirements appear. Probably no action in this subcommitte now until after the F2F.

 

 

12:35        Security ö Rich

 

Drew up a significant reading list and have now moved to a biweekly meeting. Need discussion next on general security. Howard M from Silverstream has joind the subcommittee and is contributing valuable input.

 

Q: Need to align with WS-Security?

A: It focuses on how other security mechanisms might be used in SOAP messaging. We need to understand the WSIA interactions and then can understand which of WS-Security recommendations are most relevant.

 

Q: WSRP Security overlap?

A: Theyâre currently focused on transference of identity and privacy.

 

action: Rich to sync up with Mark Cassidy, and to fwd WSRP Security emails to the WSIA list.

 

 

12:40        >Glossary ö Jeff

 

Waiting on some input from IBM right now, Dan G currently working on getting extra input. Jeff adding new proposed definitions as terms of confusion arise.

 

 

12:42        Requirements doc status ö Rich

 

R602 is the most controversial and is not closed yet. 10-15% of requirements marked as needing discussion have not yet started discussion. Rich looking to remove change marks and rearrange the doc by functional area.

 

 

12:45        adjourn
