Business Document Envelope Committee Specification Draft 01 Working Draft 02 now available for internal review

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Fellow BDXR TC members,

In response to Martin's post of a revision of the requirements 
initially submitted by Tim (there is an added requirement):

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/bdxr/201502/msg00004.html

... I have created the second working draft of CSD01:

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=55118

I have managed now to create a complete scaffolding of the 
distribution.  This means all we have to do is change and add to our 
requirements and I can build the distribution of a new revision quite 
quickly (though I often struggle with writing the associated prose; 
any help here is much appreciated).

We also need to add XML examples of envelopes that illustrate 
features of the model.  At this point I have not included any 
semantically-meaningful examples as we only now are at the point 
where contributors can create such examples and validate them with 
the now-working schemas.

If you can please make the time to create and document some XML 
examples, this will give you the opportunity to test the schemas ... 
I shouldn't be the only one doing the testing.  Perhaps as you create 
tests you will find shortcomings in the requirements that we need to 
address.  And then we can include these examples in our distribution.

In the demonstration environment I have included a simple example 
with multiple payloads (including a non-XML payload) and some 
examples with bona fide digital signatures of the entire envelope 
(including multiple signatures).  These can be verified with suitable 
digital signature software.

I believe this working environment satisfies every requirement in the 
document posted by Martin.  Perhaps, Martin, you can bring this to 
the attention of the BII architecture team in Istanbul, with the 
following caveat that is applicable to all readers.

I remind non-TC-member readers that this draft work product is not 
out for formal public review, though the public is, of course, 
welcome to review it and use the public comment list to forward 
feedback to our committee.  Everything in this draft work product, 
including the schemas, is subject to change until the work product 
becomes a formal Committee Specification.

I look forward to your feedback.  Anything you can review and 
comments you can post before our next meeting on Wednesday will be 
very helpful.  We can also discuss this at the meeting.  If we don't 
discuss it at this meeting, there will be another two-week delay and 
that will encroach on my leave of absence.  I hope we can produce the 
first Committee Specification Draft and have it out for formal public 
review before I start my leave of absence.

. . . . . . Ken
