JTC1 SC38 study group on cloud computing

[Jamie Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

As you may know, the ISO/IEC JTC SC38 study group on cloud computing
is discussing some ways to rigorously collect and represent cloud use cases.

We should make sure that relevant OASIS work products are in front of them
for their consideration, as that project progresses.

There obviously is some potential for shared topics with our ID-Cloud TC.
The use cases generated by our OASIS TC will be publicly posted.
I plan to send a short liaison statement to the SC38 study group, simply
noting the existence of the OASIS work.

Would the ID-Cloud TC also like to establish a liaison, or pursue any
more direct contact for cross-fertilization?   Are there are specific
metholodogical materials that the TC would like to see us share with
the JTC1 folks?

Some earlier work of WS-I.org also collects modeled use cases.
see: http://www.ws-i.org/SampleApplications/SupplyChainManagement/2003-12/SCMUseCases1.0.pdf

OASIS only serves as archival publisher of the legacy WS-I works, with
whatever rights and constraints were established by WS-I.  So we are
not in a position to do anything formal like contribute the material.
However, it's all available there in our archives, for passive public
viewing as a resource or exemplar.

I think it also would be sensible to send a short liaison statement to the
SC38 cloud study group,, pointing out those 2003 WS-I use cases also, as
another possible source of templates for their work.  In WS-I matters,
our WS-I member section steering committee serves as our experts, so
before sending anything out, let me ask, do the WS-I StC members have
any views about how we should interact there?

Cordially, Jamie
