Subject: 15-day Public Review for OASIS WS-Calendar Version 1.0
The OASIS Web Services Calendar (WS-Calendar) TC members have
produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and
submitted this specification for 15-day public review:
WS-Calendar Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 03 / Public Review Draft 02
25 March 2011
Specification Overview: The WS-Calendar specification adapts
the existing specifications for calendaring and apply them
to a new specification for how schedule and event information
is passed between and within services. The standard adopts
the semantics and vocabulary of iCalendar for application to
the completion of web service contracts. WS Calendar builds
on work done and ongoing in The Calendaring and Scheduling
Consortium (CalConnect), which works to increase interoperation
between calendaring systems, and the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF).
The specification describes how to specify a sequence of
services, how to schedule them, and how to invoke them. The
specification was developed to support use cases in smart
grids and smart energy, but it supports any sort of coordinated
activities between domains. The committee explicitly considered
coordination between energy coordination, enterprise systems,
building systems, and financial markets.
The WS-Calendar specification also defines a conforming model
for inheritance to reduce duplication of expression when similar
services are requested in a recurring schedule.
Since the last review, the specification has added the
vavailability object, a means of expressing recurring patterns
of times and dates that is already used repeatedly other
specifications. Reviewers may wish to review that specification
which provides the normative description of the information
model.
The OASIS Web Services Calendar (WS-Calendar) Technical Committee
was chartered to adapt the existing specifications for calendaring
and apply them to develop a standard for how schedule and event
information is passed between and within services. The standard
should adopt the semantics and vocabulary of iCalendar for
application to the completion of web service contracts.
Public Review Period: The 15-day public review starts today,
09 April 2011 and ends 24 April 2011. The specification was
previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 24 Sep 2010
[2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes
made from the previous review of 24 Sep 2010; however, for
the purpose of identifying other changes in CSPRD02 vis-a-vis
the level CD01 sent out for public review, the reviewer may
assume that the entire CSPRD02 document has been re-written.
Therefore, no machine-generated diff is considered appropriate.
This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback
from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS
members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability
and quality of its technical work.
