Subject: [provision] SPML Requirements List
Folks Through the process of defining the SPML charter, use cases and ongoing work we have implicitly gathered a set of requirements. We have not as yet clearly articulated these in a single document. On this weeks con-call, we concluded that we probably need to do this now. I would like to start this effort by offering the following (incomplete) list of requirements. Please add to this list and/or comment on the limited set suggested here. 1 - To define an XML Schema based protocol for exchanging provisioning requests between a Requesting Authority (RA) and a Provisioning Service Point (PSP). 2 - To define an XML Schema based protocol for exchanging requests provisioning requests between a PSP and a Provisioning Service Target (PST). 3 - To provide a query model that allows a RA to discover those provisioning elements it is authorized to act upon. 4 - To provide a model that allows a RA and a PSP to dynamically discover the required data values for a given provisioning action. 5 - To provide consideration for the security and general operational concerns of such an exchange system. 6 - To provide guidelines on binding SPML to the SOAP and HTTP protocols. 7 - To provide an open extensible solution that is independent of any one vendors implementation or solutions model. 8 - To provide a transactional element to the request/response model that allows for the exchange of ordered batches of requests. 9 - To deliver a solution in a timely manor. 10 - To where possible and reasonable to re-use and extend existing standards efforts for the benefit of the SPML solution. -------------------------------------------------------- Darran Rolls http://www.waveset.com Waveset Technologies Inc drolls@waveset.com (512) 657 8360 --------------------------------------------------------
