Subject: WS-I and Schema profiles
Monica, Reference the OASIS News item below. I'm not sure who "Glover" is - but I'm guessing - probably chair of co-chair of WS-I? Could you bring to the WS-I teams attention that OASIS already have the CAM specification and open source jCAM implementation that is perfectly suited to creating Schema profiles with. There's also a tutorial available on how you can augment schema definitions in this way with several examples in the ZIP file that is downloadable from the OASIS CAM TC website.
