Re: [ebxml-jc] RE: UDDI tmodel naming problems.

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

    Hello all.  After the last ebxml-jc meeting, I
confirmed back with the UDDI chairs that the URI reference can be a
human-readable source, not necessarily a completely computable one. 
(I also told them I suspected we could collectively resolve this and
supply definitive references within a week or two.  That seemed good
enough for them.)    
    I think that leaves us with two concerns:
       (1) Where is a reliable persistent
reference for the current version of each ebxml spec?
       (2) If we have a choice, should it
be one place for all specs, or one URL *per* spec?
    On the second question:  both the original ebXML
requirement documents, and actual recent practice, suggests that users
will adopt the specs in a modular fashion.  This seems to pull in
favor of a concatenation of separate references
(RegRep+CPPA+etc.).   Do you agree?
    On the first one:  As a few of us discussed last
week, we *do* know that the OASIS TC home page and doc repository for
each TC *will* always have the current specs.  We
*aren't* sure about the persistence of ebxml.org, especially going
forward.  I will raise that latter issue with the ebXML JCC, as it
seems worth pursuing, but I agree that the safer option for normative
references in the UDDI content is the OASIS site URI.  I'll defer to
Karl about the exact structure of that URI, because he has been working
on stabilizing that recently.   (It may simply be
"www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-cppa" and etc.)

    Regards  Jamie
