Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Updated Visual Model for Service Description
So what would it mean to federate a single service. Isn't that just being authorized and then using the service?
Now federating registries is usually federating queries across registries, and there are tons of things involved that I would say are outside the scope of the RA. If you haven't seen the Discovery Service Reference Architecture from the IC SOA (and now joint with DoD) work, it has some real interesting aspects and some others that gloss over fundamental questions. But that is for other discussions.

This is off topic from federations, but JAXR isimplemented for Sun's Service Registry. Sun's ServiceRegistry is one registry we are using for the Feb demothat Rex mentioned. I have that up and going at:http://www.integratedresponseservices.net:6480/soarEverything you can do with JAXR as a client app youcan do through the Registry web console.I am now trying to figure out how our RA meta-modelfits into the ebXML RIM model which is what isreferenced in section 4 of the JAXR document. Ifanyone is interested, here is a link to the 3.0version of the ebXML RIM document:http://docs.oasis-open.org/regrep/v3.0/specs/regrep-rim-3.0-os.pdfThe ebXML Registry Information Model does define afederation object but that is to federate an entireregistry with another registry. I think federation atthis level is too course grained to solve a lot of thecross ownership boundary issues that will be common tothe majority of people who jump into a SOA-ecosystem.There are multiple granularity levels that thefederation problem can be approached from.Federation is an important concept and I wanted to getother input about its placement in relation to our RAService Description.Danny--- "Jeffrey A.

Danny,Where are you going with this federation business???Are you proposing something along the lines of theFederated EnterpriseReference Architecture (FERA) model?http://xml.coverpages.org/SemantionSOA-Runtime200509.pdf
(See Section 3.0)There was a big play in the ebXML world on this(see, e.g.,http://www.ebxmlsoft.com/papers/ebxml-fera.pdf) andI saw it go nowhere whenI attended the OASIS Symposium up in San Francisco afew years ago. Therewere briefings from the ebSOA TC folks and, again,it has gone absolutelynowhere. In fact, I have not seen it referencedanywhere outside thiscommunity or even the analyst community.I'm really worried that once again, we're gettingdistracted and we NEED TOFINISH THE RA!!!!!! Our work has gone one far toolong in my opinion. Weneed to stay focused as a razor.If you're looking to build out a tool for yourregistry/repository, then youshould leverage the various service metadatainformation models (IMs) outthere. The IM described in JSR 93 (JAXR) is one ofthe best I've seen. Andit supports both UDDI and ebXML standards. I'veattached a copy of theoriginal spec. Check out Section 4 and inparticular, Fig. 11, whichprovides a UML class diagram depicting the IM.Cheers...- Jeff E.
