Call for comments/contributions + other information

BIAS TC participants –

Editors draft 0.2 of the BIAS messaging protocol and the draft WSDL are posted on the documents page of the TC website. This is a call for comments and contributions on these and associated documents, as follows:

1) Call for comments/contributions on the draft messaging protocol: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/19881/bias-1%200-biasmp-ed-04.pdf. In addition to a general review, the editor would like input on the following (see separate email from Murty Gurajada):

a. Namespace

b. Error handling/fault messages

c. Port types and alternate bindings

d. Reliability & security

2) Call for comments on the draft WSDL: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20355/bias.wsdl.

3) Call for use cases & comments on those that have been submitted. [Note – we expect 2 levels of use cases: a high/business level and (later) a lower/technical level.] Submitted use cases are located in the email archive. Charles Li will be providing a common template for these shortly.

Please provide comments and contributions by Wed, 18 October, so that editors can incorporate your inputs in the next revisions which are to be posted on 25 October (1 week prior to the next meeting on 1 November).

In addition, the latest version of the INCITS document is posted for review and comment: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20161/m1060648.pdf. Comments are due this Friday, 29 September to Matt Swayze (matt.swayze@daon.com).

NOTE: A comment template has been posted that should be used for submitting comments against the documents. Contributions may be submitted in any form (MS Word preferred at present time).

The minutes of the 21 September meeting will be posted soon, but one thing that was discussed was whether we should stick to the once/month meeting schedule or go to a weekly/biweekly 1-hour telecom schedule. Please provide your input on this.

Lastly, the “Biometrics, XML, and Web services” panel at the BCC2006 conference was interesting, with 6 presentations given. These will be posted shortly at: http://www.biometrics.org/bc2006/program.htm (go to Thursday, 21 September, 3^rd track, green near bottom). Thanks to Peter Roden from OASIS and Matt Swayze from Daon who spoke on our work.

Regards,

Cathy Tilton

Chair
