Review of OASIS ASIS metadata

[Paul Fremantle <paul@wso2.com>]

The WS-RX committee has an existing TC root for persistent and 
predictable URIs:
   http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/

This TC shortname and root was chosen and agreed with the agreement of 
OASIS staff.

The TC has already published two Committee Drafts, as well as a number 
of artifacts including RDDL documents at this root.
The TC is planning to run an interoperability workshop in March based on 
a set  namespaces that uses this root extensively.

The recommendation of the draft ASIS document would be to use  a TC root 
of 'wsrx' instead of 'ws-rx'.

The WS-RX TC made a motion on 23/Feb/2006 to petition the OASIS staff to 
change the ASIS document so that there is no requirement to remove 
hyphens from the TC shortname when used to create persistent URIs. (see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/email/archives/200602/msg00259.html). 
The motion was unanimously, and therefore I urge you to consider this 
request with all due seriousness.

Further, the TC intends to continue using the ws-rx hyphen for now given 
the draft status of the ASIS document.

Paul Fremantle,
Co-chair OASIS WS-RX Technical Committee
