AIs...

 

NEW ACTION: DavidH, Preventing unwanted subscriptions use case.

 

Modification of the time of the conf call... NO

 

Potential issues...

    1. Use of the wsrp:Dialect attribute. What is the default? WSRF needs to clarify.

        SteveG: Make it mandatory or give interpretation for it not being present.

        Peter: Or just declare one in WSN there or not even have Dialect and go for contained elements.

        Igor: contaned elements limit extensibility as there is a need to standardize conteiner elements somewhere

 

NEW ACTION: Peter and Steve to write the clarification of wsrp:Dialect use. I.e. why this element is valuable and how is it applicable to the WSN uses.

 

NEW ACTION: Sanjay to create new issue on use of wsrp:Dialect. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wsn/200411/msg00009.html

 

    2. DavidH proposal on the value of distributors

        Peter: this may be addressed by the brokered N

        DavidH: no it is not broketed

        Peter: this is indirect notification which is the issue of the broker. It will be distributing.

        DavidH: bundling a set of params and policies for multiple subscriptions (??)

        DavidH: describes a queueing use case

        Fred: it seems like a patterns of use, which could be built what exists already

        DavidH: the specificaation needs to cover simple delivery case and layer on top

        Peter: is the proposal to decouple poll interfaces from notification producer

        DavidH: yes, and everything else decoupled from the simple notification interface. e.g. state management (??)

        ... What is the difference between this and brokers subscribing to brokers....

        DavidH: the concern is to keep basic notification minimal

        DavidH: not have specific, and open-ended delivery scenarios baked into the basic spec. Filtering stays, but things like Notify go away.

        DavidH: composeable delivery mechanisms i.e. some may also be shared by several subscriptions

        Proposed issue: factor delivery options into a separate object

 

Left undecided for discussion on future calls.

 

Other business.

    Peter: request from SteveG. Mark as resolved the changes that were made. Interested parties need to review this by Thu.

    Looking for a volunteer... DavidH will do this.

 

NEW ACTION: DavidH to verify if SteveG's changes resolved the issues.

 

    William: vonunteers for WS-Topics editors

    Igor volunteered. Group did not object.
