Subject: [members] WSDM specifications submitted for OASIS Standard
OASIS members:
The OASIS Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) TC has submitted
the following specifications, which are approved Committee Drafts, to be
considered collectively as an OASIS Standard:
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services
(WSDM-MUWS) v1.0, Part 1
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services
(WSDM-MUWS) v1.0, Part 2
Web Services Distributed Management: Management of Web Services
(WSDM-MOWS) v1.0
The TC's submission is attached below.
In accordance with the OASIS Technical Committee Process, the
specification has already gone through a 30 day public review period:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200412/msg00004.html.
OASIS members now have until the 15th of February to familiarize
themselves with the submission below. OASIS members should give their
input on this question to the voting representative of their
organization.
By the 16th of the month we will send out a Call For Vote to the voting
representatives of the OASIS member organizations, who will have until
the end of the month to cast their ballots on whether this Committee
Draft should be approved as an OASIS Standard.
The normative TC Process for approval of Committee Drafts as OASIS
Standards is found at

[2.] A clear English-language summary of the specification.
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services
(MUWS) v1.0 defines how to represent and access the manageability
interfaces of resources as Web services. It is the foundation of
enabling management applications to be built using Web services and
allows resources to be managed by many managers with one set of
instrumentation. This specification provides interoperable, base
manageability for monitoring and control managers using Web services.
WSDM-MUWS v1.0 has been defined in two specifications, MUWS Part 1,
which defines the base architectural concepts and required components,
and MUWS Part 2 which defines standard composeable support for
manageability capabilities.
The MUWS v1.0 specifications define how to express the following
manageability capabilities: identity, metrics, resource state, status,
configuration, name correlation, and relationships. It defines standard
descriptive techniques for each of these including required base
properties, operations, and notifications, as well as required metadata
for each of these to aid introspection. MUWS v1.0 also defines standard
management event formats to enhance interoperability and
correlateability.
It defines how to provide secure management. In addition MUWS v1.0
defines recommendations and interfaces for advertising and discovering
resources.
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Of Web Services (MOWS)
v1.0 specification defines the how to manage Web services as resources
and how to describe and access that manageability using MUWS. It
provides mechanisms and methodologies that enable manageable Web
services applications to interoperate across enterprise and
organizational boundaries. The MOWS specification allows integration of
management with Web services-based business applications and processes.
[3.] A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to
similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing
organizations.
WSDM is related to the following OASIS TCs:
The MUWS and MOWS standards are based upon other OASIS standards that
are currently under development within OASIS. Most importantly, the
WSDM TC has defined manageable resources as resources in a Web Services
Resource Framework (WSRF) based context. Thus, the WSDM specification
will rely on the following OASIS standards (some of which will be under
development at the time WSDM v1.0 is produced). WSDM v2.0 will depend
on the Standard version of these specifications.
WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ResourceProperties
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ResourceProperties-1.2-d
raft-04.pdf
WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ResourceLifetime
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ResourceLifetime-1.2-dra
ft-03.pdf
WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ServiceGroup
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ServiceGroup-1.2-draft-0
2.pdf
WS-Notifications TC: Base Notification
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/2004/06/wsn-WS-BaseNotification-1.2-draft
-03.pdf
WS-Notifications TC: Topics
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/2004/06/wsn-WS-Topics-1.2-draft-01.pdf
The DCML member section is creating an XML representation, an IT
information model, and a protocol for accessing that XML document of the
snapshot of the IT environment. There may be some overlap between the
mission of DCML and WSDM with regard to the representation of IT
resources in XML Schema and WSDL and the definition of a protocol to
access that schema/WSDL.
WSDM is related to the following external work:
WS-I: WSDM has a requirement that WSDM implementation may be WS-I Basic
Profile compliant.
W3C: The WSDM TC's work has been influenced by the W3C Web Service
Architecture and Web Service Description working groups. WSDM is also
dependent on the following W3C recommendations:
XML
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml
XML Schema
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1
SOAP
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/
WSDL
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl)
WSDM is dependent on the following W3C notes which are currently being
developed into standards in W3C Work Groups:
WS-Addressing
http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/SUBM-ws-addressing-20040810/
Global Grid Forum: The WSDM TC has been working to ensure that the needs
of the Global Grid Forum (GGF), Open Grid Services Architecture Working
Group are incorporated in the developing standard. The CMM work group
has announced intent to use the WSDM specifications to express and
access the manageability of Grid resources.
DMTF: The WSDM TC has established a liaison with the DMTF to ensure that
the models produced by these groups can be represented using the WSDM
standards. The DMTF W BEM Interoperability Protocol Work Group WS-CIM
Subgroup is currently chartered to develop Web services protocol for
accessing CIM modeled resources. Using the WSDM specification for this
is currently under consideration by the WS-CIM subgroup.
