RE: [wsdm][UPlat] Simplifying Versioning Definition

["Sedukhin, Igor S" <Igor.Sedukhin@ca.com>]

Web service architecture components, not infrastructure :)
Better yet, Web service description components. It precisely matches the actual situation.

It may better be "Version is an attribute of a Web service description component identifying a set of supported capabilities and a sequence of modifications to the component".

Versioning: 
-----------

What?
-----
Version is an attribute of a Webservice infrastructure components (service, interface, endpoint) identifying a sequence of copies of the components incorporating new modifications.

The following will be moved to the "How" section:
-----------------------------------------------
Each version is identified by the version information, following a certain specified format signifying the major version number, minor version number, and the revision number.

Typically an increment in the major version signifies a substantial increase in the function of the Webservice or partial or total re-implementation. An increment of the minor revision signifies a small increase in the functions of the Webservice such as an extension to the existing functionality. The revision number increases each time the Webservice is changed in any way such as bug fixes or patches.

Version number is accompanied by other version attributes; change description describing what has changed in a revision compared to the previous one, version predeccesor pointing to the previous version, version successor pointing to the new version, etc.

Feedback?

Thanks.
