Section A. Home Page Revision
Change Group Description from:

"Advancing architectural patterns for using Service Oriented Architecture in 
electronic business"

To:

"Delivering Service Oriented Architecture framework composition guidelines, and 
accompanying technical specifications."


Section B. Charter Revision

Statement of Purpose:

To provide an updated normative technical architecture specification 
illustrating the composition of e-Business Service Oriented Architectures 
through the use of the various specifications ratified by OASIS, including Web 
Services and ebXML based technologies. To provide a set of high-level usage 
guidelines accompanying the technical architecture specification, with the 
purpose of illustrating the features and benefits of e-Business Service Oriented 
Architectures based on OASIS specifications, for managers and project teams. To 
facilitate discussion and evolution of architectural models for SOA's.

Scope - no changes



Section C. Technical Architecture Revision Notes

Service Oriented Architectures are currently, and may always, evolve to 
encompass new technologies and new functions. The ebXML specifications (ebMS, 
CPPA, Reg/Rep and BPSS), when used to create an e-Business framework, deliver a 
stable SOA. The ebXML Technical Architecture Specification v1.04 document was 
last revised in February 2001, and requires updates to reflect the latest stable 
specifications, and usage.



C.1 Version: update version number to 2.0

C.2 Determine the applicability of SOA related OASIS standards ratified since TA 
v1.04 was published:

	C.2.1  ebXML Message Service v2.0 / v3.0
	C.2.2  ebXML Registry Services Specification v2.0
	C.2.3  ebXML CPPA v2.0
	C.2.4  SAML v2.0
	C.2.5  XACML v1.0
	C.2.6  WSS
	C.2.7	 WS-Reliability v1.1
	C.2.8  UDDI v2
	C.2.9  SPML v1.0
	C.2.10 DSML v2.0
	C.2.11 WSDM v1.0


Edit all sections according to new capabilities.

C.3 Throughout document:

Diagrams - update with UML diagrams throughout, specifically package, sequence 
and activity diagrams to illustrate the usage of the various components and 
interactions between those components.


Edit to update the version numbers of all referenced specifications (eg: ebMS 2.0)



C.4  Section revisions:

- - TA Section 4.1 Problem Description and goals - -

Add descriptions of Service Oriented Architecture advances in modern IT 
architectures.

Add information describing the solution to these problems as a Service Oriented 
Architecture framework.

Include updated language depicting the usage of ebXML specifications as the 
components of a service oriented arch-itecture.


- - TA Section 8 ebXML Infrastructure - -

Based on decisions re: the newly ratified standards (C.2 above), addition of new 
sections describing the functions of the standard, detailing the architecture 
and relating these details to other functions listed in section 8.

Update section 8.2 with BPSS v2.0 capabilities

Update Appendixes to reflect increased functionality of later versions.
