Title: Two significant developments; do they bear on our
work?
Hi Folks,
I had two articles catch my attention today, though they are last
week's news. However, I have questions for each of them for any who
can speak to the topics.
1) Microsoft, Sun Partner On Identity
Specs
By Antone Gonsalves, TechWeb.com
Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc. on Friday unveiled jointly
developed specifications, which will support Web single sign-on
between the companies' systems.

2) Microsoft .Net Gets UML 2.0
Modeling May 13, 2005
New Borland Together modeling tools provide Unified Modeling Language
2.0 capabilities to Visual Studio development languages

1) Anyone know if there are any plans to bring Web Single Sign-On Metadata Exchange (Web SSO MEX)
protocol and Web Single Sign-On Interoperability profile (Web SSO
Interop Profile), and WS-Management to a more widely-accepted
SDO like OASIS? Also, is WS-Management related to WS-Resource or
WS-Policy?
Isn't it time to initiate a consolidation of all these specs? It
is really awful trying to explain this mess to anyone who sees mass
confusion in web services. Also it tends to undermine confidence in
our own spec.
2) Does anyone know if there is any concern over at OMG for
conformance testing for UML 2.0? It would be nice if work done for
J2EE would also work for .NET. I don't know who else works
cross-platform, let alone cross-vendor and cross-OS, but I am thinking
of trying to start a sourceforge project for documenting all those
testy little bottlenecks where one version of a DB for Linux doesn't
work the same as for a Windows Server (name the flavor).
Last thought: With the advent of OWL Lite, DL, and full, I think
it would be nifty if we could fire up a Search/Indexing Standard
project so that we can start using the Semantic Web work for Web
Services in a reliable, programmatic methodology. Anyone else with
similar thoughts?
Ciao,
Rex
