Re: [egov] Pilot: ebXML Registry and Web Services

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Joe,

This caught my eye because I've particpated in the OASIS Web 
Servicies for Interactive Applications/Web Services for Remote 
Portlets WSIA/WSRP combined TCs spec work--which is nearing the stage 
of submission for OASIS-wide approval. It doesn't specify registries, 
but it is heavily weighted in the direction of UDDI for business 
purposes. I would personally like to ensure that it is also applied 
to institutional and governmental uses, and the ebXML Registries, as 
well, so my suggestion is to include use of that specification in 
your pilot program.

I am also involved in the Emergency Management TC and it also could 
benefit from being included in test use cases such as your pilot 
project. I sent off a lengthy message this morning to two other lists 
associated with applications I envision for enhancing emergency 
services delivery, particularly in the realm of health care, where my 
keenest interests, represented by my participation in the HumanMarkup 
TC, come into play. The message was an introduction of these groups 
to each other and a discussion of liaison possibilities. It was 
rather lengthy, so I don't want to send it to this list, but if you 
or others are interested, I could send it to you and/or them 
independently.

I am also involved in an ongoing, health care related project that 
this pilot project could relate to, but does not specifically involve 
the other groups I was communicating with this morning, and which I 
also do not want to belabor in this venue, but longer term 
associations might be made with that combined private/public venture 
which could be included in future projects and which makes use of web 
services in the ways you are exploring.

I am interested in hearing the use case/scenario you decide to use 
for the pilot project.

Ciao,
Rex
