I disagree. The value of WSRF is in specifying SOAP
messages used to retrieve, through various means (properties, entire document,
XPath), an XML document associated with an EPR. The WS-Resource formalism is a
distraction in WSRF and we should not encourage WSRF to keep digging in that
direction. The WSRF TC made the right choice, on the topic of metadata, to focus
on properties only, or more precisely on metadata affecting the XML document
retrieved through WS-ResourceProperties.
Yes WSDM needs metadata on
operations (though not as urgently as on properties) but WSRF is not the right
place for that.
