Subject: Re: [oasis-charter-discuss] Proposed Charter for OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC
The proposed CMIS TC is building upon a substantial base of trail- blazing work accomplished by the convening companies. Having spent some time studying the schema and Web service artifacts that are being brought to OASIS, I would like to encourage the CMIS technical committee leadership to devote sufficient attention in the design of the TC deliverables to embrace several core SOA architectural principles that were not fully evidenced by the first iteration artifacts: * Simplicity -- design the services and schemas to be easy to understand and implement, * Extensibility -- incorporate thoughtfully placed extension points, * Scalability -- support collections to avoid chatty services and implement message exchange patterns that minimize encoding and traffic, * Compatibility -- ensure the services can be easily used within as many tooling and runtime environments as possible via conformance and testing. With regard to compatibility, I trust the CMIS deliverables will readily support client and provider implementations based on the OASIS SDO, SCA, and BPEL standards, as well as offer full conformance with the W3C XML Schema, Namespaces, WSDL, and SOAP/JMS (XMS) recommendations. I fully expect that we will be able to embrace these important architectural principles without extending the time frame for the first version deliverables.
