RE: [wsdm] Comment on MUWS part 1 and 2

["Wilson, Kirk D" <Kirk.Wilson@ca.com>]

Mitsunori-san:

I think we need to discuss the LastUpdated problem on the conf. call.
You're right the text doesn't say anything explicitly about the
requirements for using the LastUpdated attribute.  But the definition of
Duration attribute is defined as the internval previous to the
LastUpdated time, which might implicitly imply that the LastUpdated
attribute must be provided.  A similar "implicit" implication might be
read into PointinTime--what was the point in time that the data
represents.  But you're right, given the way the spec was written,
LastUpdated would be just recommended.

Good catch on the <wsnt:Filter> tag.  Damn, now I'm going to have to
review the old WSN spec and completely revise the text on pp 31-32--only
to probably include the text all over again the WSDM 1.1 version of the
Primer.  Have you and your colleagues found any other such examples.

Subject: [wsdm] Comment on MUWS part 1 and 2

Hi,

I found some typos and comment in the spec documents.

1. MUWS Part1 (KDW wsdm-muws-part1-1[1][1][1].0-vjb-tws-me.doc)
 - P5L134 "a group of properties-operations," should be "a group of
properties, operations,"

2. MUWS Part2 (KDW wsdm-muws-part2-1[1][1].0-vjb-changesaccepted.doc)
 - P29L1135 "/muws1:ResourceID" should be "/muws1:ResourceId".

3. MUWS Primer (wd-wsdm-primer-muws-wd_final.doc)
 - P40L1896 This table shows "LastUpdated" attribute is "REQUIRED" if
TimeScope="Interval" or "PointInTime".
                   But MUWS spec Part2 does not describe anything about
this attribute is required or not.
                   So IMHO, I suggest that we should change these two
columns from "REQUIRED"(checked mark) to "recommended".

And my colleagues in Japan are worried about the consistency between
Primer documents and other related specs (WSRF, WSN and WS-Addressing).
For example, at the MOWS Primer document P13L566, this sample XML text
use <wsnt:Filter> tag, 
but I think that WSN Jun. 2004 version spec doesn't have such XML tag.
(<wsnt:Filter> is a tag of new version of WSN).

IMHO after WSDM 1.1 is adopted, we should update the both Primer
documents which have consistency with the related specifications,
or we should synchronize the Primer and MUWS / MOWS spec. in the next
version (WSDM 2.0?).
 
I am so sorry for sending our comments later.
