Groups - Bi-weekly PSTC meeting modified

[Gary.Cole@oracle.com]

We did not achieve quorum today.  Participation was good, but the voting
rights of some attendees had lapsed.

Discussed the rough draft of the standard schema (SIMPLEST) informally and
in a non-binding manner.  See minutes.

5) AOB
* Attendees discussed a rough draft of SIMPLEST on the wiki:
  - http://wiki.oasis-open.org/provision/simplest
  - discussion was informal because we lack quorum)

Discussed Staging or Sections of SIMPLEST Schema:
- Current sections are:
  -- Basic Identity Management (Person)
  -- Enterprise Identity Management (adds Organization, Role and Group)
  -- Account Management: (adds Target and Account)
  -- Provisioning and Compliance (adds Access-Policy and Access-Privilege)
- Intent of staging or sections seems clear:
  -- Start with the area(s) of most general interest.
  -- End with the area(s) of most narrow interest.
- Richness of SIMPLEST offers valuable advantages:
  -- Ability to distinguish between Person and Account.
  -- Ability to represent/manage Relationships explicitly.

Discussed Complex Attributes of Person entity:
- Certain attributes have sub-attributes, e.g.:
  -- address has street-address, city, state, zip, country.
- Some attributes have meta-data, e.g.:
  -- One value of email address is primary.
  -- Each value of email address may have a type (work, home, ).
- One approach is to delimit components within each value.
  -- Compatible with DSML model of attribute having only scalar values.
  -- Requires client to understand/parse the structure of each value.
- Another approach is also shown: Open-ended Relationships:
  -- Each relationship has an explicit set of attributes.
  -- Each instance has an explicit set of attribute-values.
- Other approaches are possible (e.g., object-class as attribute-syntax).
- Attendees preferred the Open-Ended Relationship approach:
  -- Since we need a Relationship mechanism anyway, use it here also.
  -- Should be easy to model as sub-objects in JSON.

Gary agreed to update the draft of SIMPLEST:
- Address/eliminate redundancy between complex attributes of Person and open-ended relationships of Person.  Suggest one approach if possible.
- Add first cut at attributes, relationships of other entities.
