Subject: RE: [uddi-spec] Use of UDDI.org
as a means of promoting TC, UBR, Std Group and Consortium tModels and Value
Sets
Many will recall this mail and the
ensuing discussion. I took an AR to make to update the prototype proposed and
would like to offer this update to the TC for
re-consideration.
I would like to add this topic as a new
agenda item. Please review either of the Word or HTML versions of the document
and offer your comments. If the TC will agree with the prototype and the
approach, I would like us to request comments from the Steering Committee and
an update to the UDDI.org Member Section web site.

(Apologies for my last and premature
mail)
A
few meetings ago, the topic of where to post non-normative tModels came up in
a discussion; we never concluded this discussion. I'd like to revive it and
obtain your input on the following.
Background
As some of you may know, during the course of the
v3 spec development, we removed from the spec those tModels and value sets
that were not considered appropriate to make normative in favour of having
the UDDI Business Registry (UBR) to manage these. They include the
following:
1 UDDI Business Registry Value Set tModels:
Category System, Identifier Systems and Categorization
Groups
1.1 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) 1997 Release
1.2 United Nations Standard Products and Services
Code System (UNSPSC) Version 7.3
1.3 ISO 3166 Geographic Code System
1.4 ISO 3166 Code Derivation for Business Locations
1.5 ISO 3166
and UNSPSC Code Group System
1.6 World Geodetic System 1984
1.7
WGS 84 Latitude Code System
1.8 WGS 84 Longitude Code System
1.9
WGS 84 Altitude Code System
1.10 Geographic Precision Code System
1.11 UDDI Business Registry Postal Address Structure
1.12 Dun
& Bradstreet D-U-N-S® Number Identifier System
1.13 Thomas Register
Supplier Identifier Code System
1.14 ISO 6523 International Code
Designator (ICD) System
2 UDDI Business Registry Core
tModels
2.1 Domain Key Generator for the UDDI
Business Registry Domain
2.2 UDDI JIS X 4061 Japanese sortOrder
qualifier
The UBR's Operator's Council is currently in the
process of reviewing these tModels in support of its UDDI v3 deployment
work. This topic is long overdue.
TC, Standards Groups and
Consortium Needs
As we've discussed and continue to encounter, the
TC, other standards groups and consortium need a place where they can
collect and promulgate the existence of their tModels and value sets (e.g.
WSDL v2 TN, ebXML TN, etc).
Proposal
The UBR Operator's Council is considering asking
the UDDI Steering Committee to post UBR tModels on UDDI.org. At the same
time, the OC discussed the need/desire for the TC/Consortium to
have a similar forum and thought that we should consult the
TC.
To this end, the OC has created a prototype page to
be added to the UDDI.org site; please find it attached. The prototype
suggests the addition of a "Common tModels" navigation link which displays
the content of the attached.
Please review this prototype. This matter will be
put on the agenda for the next TC call.
Action Required
A. The OC is soliciting your support and
interest for this; while it can proceed independently from the TC, it would
be best to coordinate this.
B. We need to discuss the criteria for what gets
published on the page; I would expect the Steering Committee to be the gate
keeper but they would require guidance from the TC on matter of
criteria
As a next step once we complete this discussion and
if the TC is favourable to posting such information, the next step would be
for the TC (and the OC) to make a request to the UDDI-SC asking for
this content to be posted.
For your consideration.
