George,
 
I agree. Please see my previous note.

Goran,

 

I think we should make sure we convey your last point below in the vision statement even if we do not go into technical detail.

David,

 

SOA integration and interoperability is much more than "XML scripting". It has to be explained properly or not communicated that way at all. I think that our vision document is not the place for that.

Groan,

 

OK - I'm not disputing that your implementation is wonderful! 

 

So what is wrong with merely a simple sentence that articulates the dynamic scripted nature of the deployment model?

 

Thanks, DW

David,

 

I am not going to repeat what I already mentioned. However, I have a comment regarding the technical stuff you discussed below.

 

If you read the FERA-based SOA material contributed to ebSOA TC you would realize that it is 100% XML based ("XML scripting" in your term/solution) with Collaborative Process Information Document (CPID) as its output and that it does not require any coding to compose applications/systems in SOA. There are technical details that are  much more than the "XML scripting" that stand behind this and enable overall integration and interoperability in SOA. All these details are documented in the FERA-based SOA material available in the ebSOA TC document repository. Please keep in mind that this is not just the theoretical stuff. An implementation for this already exists  and it can be demonstrated. Again, we decided that the technical details will not be the part of the vision document.

Goran,

 

Some responses.

 

While we have to explain our purpose - we have to be careful to not re-hash familiar ground for the reader.  We only have their attention for a short while - and I know that when people hit "page down" and see more several pages of tight text - they stop!  Better to make the message short and to the point in the Vision - and leave the long version for the specification...  I know there's lots of things you would want them to read - but reality is they are not going to ; -)

 

Short and succinct in the Vision is vital.

 

I like my "XML scripted" assertion.  Since this is fundamental to what OASIS does - I feel its essential that we state this.  I've got flak from the BOD before now - particularly WRT the BCM spec's because there is no apparent mention of XML artifacts - a staple apparently of what OASIS is!  Overall also - I do believe that XML-scripting is a key to successful SOA.  People think of XML just as schema and data.  Alerting them to the other facet of XML is important.  I do not think this is overly technical.  It is up to executives to insist that XML-scripting is at the heart of their SOA implementations.  All to often today - everything is hard coded - and just gives the semblence of being "agile" - when in reality everything needs to be changed by hand by programmers whenever a schema or other component is changed within the "SOA".

 

Similarly - with BCM - this is one specification that is particularly aligned with ebSOA IMHO - and is about to be (all things being equal) an approved OASIS specification by Friday.  Relating our work to approved standards I believe is important and provides people with a clear foundation.  I see an emerging family of approved OASIS standards here - and folks should be able to see where ebSOA fits amongst that.

 

In the case of the BCM - it also saves us having to reiterate things that it already covers off for us - particularly at the business level.

 

Point taken that TC members need to assimulate exactly what that all is - however - overall I sense this should be a savings in time and effort overall...

David,

 

What you removed and modified in the document is more than the "motherhood and apple pie stuff ". I think these are one of the most important parts that would help readers of the document to better understand the core of ebSOA TC architectural solution and vision.

 

You also added

 

"
-  Software development itself is become open and global and based upon interoperable components that can be adapted and purposed using particularly XML scripted mechanisms.  Providing the roadmap for using such components in a coherent, reliable and proven way is the value desired by implementers.

 

"

 

paragraph in the "Background" section. I think that the "XML scripted mechanisms" is too technical stuff for this kind of the document. For your information, we decided to take out technical details (we had before) out of the vision document long time ago.

 

I also do not understand your BCM-related additions to the document. I think that this TC needs to better understand BCM or any other related specs before explicitly mentioning it in the document like this one.  At the same time, you can also see that we have not explicitly mentioned any specific standard specs except the standard "groups" like ebXML and Web Services. However, I believe that BCM will find its place in ebSOA TC specs.

 

Goran

Folks,

 

Attached edited version - I did more changes et al - plus re-organization.

 

Eventually I believe we need three documents - this one seems to be merging all three into one! ; -)

 

The good news is - what I see is very good - I'd venture to say the best we have ever had.

 

Sometimes though we veer off into telling people motherhood and apple pie stuff - so I've deleted what I saw as falling into that category.  Less is more always!!

 

The three eventual products that I see we need are:

 

1) Revised Charter - short succinct - two pager.

 

2) Executive Summary / Outreach / Press Release type material explaining applicablity of Charter to the real world

3) Approach and Roadmap to guide our own internal work products

 

I think we can easily derive these from the document - and I've attempted to re-organize it a bit to make this a bit clearer. 

 

Talk with everyone at 3pm (caveat - I'll be driving around school parking lots collecting children)

 

Thanks, DW
