RE: [wsdm][UPlat] "How"s for several sections of the Uplat document

["Andrea Westerinen" <andreaw@cisco.com>]

Here is my to-do on the "how" for transactions (Section 2.1.12):

<transaction-how>
There are several existing specifications addressing web services
transactions.  These are:
 - Committee Specs from the OASIS Business Transactions 
	
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=business-tran
saction
	See "Documents"
 - WS-Transaction Management submitted to the OASIS Web Services
Composite
	Application Framework
	
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ws-caf
	See also
http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/webservices/wscaf/wstxm.pdf
 - WS-Transaction
	
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-transpec/
<\transaction-how>

Also, I would like to add to the "how" for several sections:

- 2.1.4 Meta-data

Additional text: "One of the strong points of the Distributed Management
Task Force's Common Information Model (CIM) is the concept of
qualifiers.  Qualifiers are meta-data concerning a class, property,
method, notification or method parameter. The CIM qualifiers may be
mined for useful information for web services meta-data." 

- 2.1.7 Relationships

Additional text: "The standard UML relationships and refinements of
those described by the DMTF CIM Schema may be consulted for additional
semantics."

- 2.1.10 Policy:

Additional text: "Policy is also of prime concern in various industry
standards - GGF's Policy Research Group
(https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/policy-rg/), IETF's Policy
Framework Working Group
(http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/policy-charter.html) and DMTF's
Policy Working Group
(http://www.dmtf.org/about/committees/slaWGCharter.pdf).  Existing
standards should be built upon, for the web services work. Also, policy
languages such as Imperial College's Ponder
(http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/Research/policies/index.shtml) may be
useful."

- 2.1.11 Collection

Additional text: "DMTF CIM's Core Model Collection class and its
associations, MemberOfCollection and OrderedMemberOfCollection"
