Subject: WSDM specifications submitted for OASIS Standard
OASIS members:
The OASIS Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) TC has submitted the
following specifications, which are approved Committee Drafts, to be
considered collectively as an OASIS Standard:
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services

Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services
(WSDM-MUWS) v1.0, Part 2
Web Services Distributed Management: Management of Web Services (WSDM-MOWS)
v1.0
The TC's submission is attached below.
In accordance with the OASIS Technical Committee Process, the specification
has already gone through a 30 day public review period:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200412/msg00004.html.
OASIS members now have until the 15th of February to familiarize themselves
with the submission below. OASIS members should give their input on this
question to the voting representative of their organization.
By the 16th of the month we will send out a Call For Vote to the voting
representatives of the OASIS member organizations, who will have until the
end of the month to cast their ballots on whether this Committee Draft
should be approved as an OASIS Standard.
The normative TC Process for approval of Committee Drafts as OASIS
Standards is found at

[2.] A clear English-language summary of the specification.
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services (MUWS)
v1.0 defines how to represent and access the manageability interfaces of
resources as Web services. It is the foundation of enabling management
applications to be built using Web services and allows resources to be
managed by many managers with one set of instrumentation. This
specification provides interoperable, base manageability for monitoring and
control managers using Web services. WSDM-MUWS v1.0 has been defined in two
specifications, MUWS Part 1, which defines the base architectural concepts
and required components, and MUWS Part 2 which defines standard composeable
support for manageability capabilities.
The MUWS v1.0 specifications define how to express the following
manageability capabilities: identity, metrics, resource state, status,
configuration, name correlation, and relationships. It defines standard
descriptive techniques for each of these including required base
properties, operations, and notifications, as well as required metadata for
each of these to aid introspection. MUWS v1.0 also defines standard
management event formats to enhance interoperability and correlateability.
It defines how to provide secure management. In addition MUWS v1.0 defines
recommendations and interfaces for advertising and discovering resources.
Web Services Distributed Management: Management Of Web Services (MOWS) v1.0
specification defines the how to manage Web services as resources and how
to describe and access that manageability using MUWS. It provides
mechanisms and methodologies that enable manageable Web services
applications to interoperate across enterprise and organizational
boundaries. The MOWS specification allows integration of management with
Web services-based business applications and processes.
[3.] A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to
similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations.
WSDM is related to the following OASIS TCs:
The MUWS and MOWS standards are based upon other OASIS standards that are
currently under development within OASIS. Most importantly, the WSDM TC
has defined manageable resources as resources in a Web Services Resource
Framework (WSRF) based context. Thus, the WSDM specification will rely on
the following OASIS standards (some of which will be under development at
the time WSDM v1.0 is produced). WSDM v2.0 will depend on the Standard
version of these specifications.
WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ResourceProperties
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ResourceProperties-1.2-draft-04.pdf
WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ResourceLifetime
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ResourceLifetime-1.2-draft-03.pdf
WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ServiceGroup
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ServiceGroup-1.2-draft-02.pdf
WS-Notifications TC: Base Notification
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/2004/06/wsn-WS-BaseNotification-1.2-draft-03.pdf
WS-Notifications TC: Topics
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/2004/06/wsn-WS-Topics-1.2-draft-01.pdf
The DCML member section is creating an XML representation, an IT
information model, and a protocol for accessing that XML document of the
snapshot of the IT environment. There may be some overlap between the
mission of DCML and WSDM with regard to the representation of IT resources
in XML Schema and WSDL and the definition of a protocol to access that
schema/WSDL.
WSDM is related to the following external work:
WS-I: WSDM has a requirement that WSDM implementation may be WS-I Basic
Profile compliant.
W3C: The WSDM TC's work has been influenced by the W3C Web Service
Architecture and Web Service Description working groups. WSDM is also
dependent on the following W3C recommendations:
XML
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml
XML Schema
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1
SOAP
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/
WSDL
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl)
WSDM is dependent on the following W3C notes which are currently being
developed into standards in W3C Work Groups:
WS-Addressing
http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/SUBM-ws-addressing-20040810/
Global Grid Forum: The WSDM TC has been working to ensure that the needs of
the Global Grid Forum (GGF), Open Grid Services Architecture Working Group
are incorporated in the developing standard. The CMM work group has
announced intent to use the WSDM specifications to express and access the
manageability of Grid resources.
DMTF: The WSDM TC has established a liaison with the DMTF to ensure that
the models produced by these groups can be represented using the WSDM
standards.
DMTF Work Register:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsdm/download.php/5414/WSDM-DMTFWorkRegister_v2.doc
The DMTF W BEM Interoperability Protocol Work Group WS-CIM Subgroup is
currently chartered to develop Web services protocol for accessing CIM
modeled resources. Using the WSDM specification for this is currently under
consideration by the WS-CIM subgroup.
