RE: [ebsoa] Blurb about ebSOA Work (For Interview)

["Schuldt, Ron L" <ron.l.schuldt@lmco.com>]

Although I like David's words, I concur with Duane's suggestion. At this
stage anything other than a paraphrase of the words lifted from the
charter would require a caveat - such as "this is a personal opinion."
And how many times have journalists ignored personal opinion caveats.

My 2 cents

Joseph:

I would suggest lifting a sentence or two from our charter document for 
the interview.  It captures the intent perfectly.  Since we have had no 
formal meetings since the announcement, we cannot tweak it since that 
may not be reflective of the groups consensus.

How about:

"The TC is focused on building a modern Service Oriented, Event Driven 
Architecture specifically applying the web service paradigm to the arena

of global electronic business.  The TC's output will be to reflect 
advances in convergence between web services and ebXML stacks and 
capture that output in a revision to the ebXML Technical Architecture."

 From our Charter:

"The TC will:
-- Assess the subsequent and related works noted herein and the 
implementation experience of the existing ebXML and Web Services 
specifications.

-- Update the descriptive and normative statements of existing ebXML and

Web Services specifications in an updated Technical Architecture 
document(s) to reflect the subsequent approved versions, and the other 
developments and implementation experiences described here.

-- Assess the implement ability and inter operability of the multiple 
ebXML and Web Services specifications,  provide comments and suggestions

to the TCs managing the individual specifications, and identify gaps or 
future work (if any) needed or desirable for useful complete 
implementations.

-- Assess the implement ability and interoperability of other relevant 
approved e-business and web services standards with one or more existing

ebXML specifications, provide comments and suggestions (if any) to the 
TCs and other panels managing the relevant individual specifications, 
and (if the TC elects) provide non-normative examples or suggestions for

useful combinations and extensions of the various specifications.

-- Adhere to the requirements of the ebXML Requirements Specification 
[v1.06] and/or later revisions.

-- Provide an opportunity for each TC that manages an individual ebXML 
and/or Web Service(s) specifications to comment on and correct any 
descriptions or characterizations of those specifications before they 
are incorporated into any work approved by this TC.

-- Not publish normative public guidance about an existing ebXML 
specification that contradicts the approved text.  Suggestions for 
change or extension should be welcome and recorded, but expressed in a 
manner that does not undermine the approved specifications as the 
primary source of ebXML technical guidance."
