Farrukh:

I was not out to bad mouth the open source ebxmlrr.  In fact, some at my 
company have even contributed to it and we will likely do so in the 
future ;-)

The bothersome comment was to lock out vendors without considering them 
on purely technical merits aligned with the end users requirements.  I 
believe this group (and all other groups) must function clearly out of a 
philosophy to match a solution with a set of requirements, regardless of 
political motives.

I would still like to see the set of requirements for this PoC.  Does 
anyone have them? Can we discuss how two or more registries can work 
together?

I would like to see the following:

1. Registry "A" has several intrinsic objects
2. Registry "B" points at Registry "A"'s intrinsic objects as extrinsic 
objects.
3. Registry "C" points at both objects but recognizes that Registry "A" 
is the true source of the intrinsic objects.
4. A registry user can query for a Registry object in registry B or C 
but when they wish to get a copy ofthe registry object, the "get" clause 
grabs it from its' home registry ("A").
5. Registry B and C know that they must renew their metadata from 
Registry "A" at either (choice):

       - a certain pre-determined time
       - when they receive a notification from registry A that the 
object has new metadata association with it.

6. an object in Registry "A" is associated to an object in Registry "B" 
by a "users" association.
7. A classification scheme from registry C branches to the top level 
node of Registry B or A and can be replicated dynamically.

....

comments?
