In accordance with OASIS Technical Committee Process for Member Approval 
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#3.4), the WSDM TC 
recommends that the Committee Specification of WSDM 1.1 be made an OASIS 
Standard. WSDM TC has approved a resolution to move the specification 
forward; therefore, the chair of the WSDM TC submits the following items 
to OASIS TC Administration:

a. Links to the approved Committee Specification in the TC's document 
repository, and any appropriate supplemental documentation for the 
specification, both of which must be written using the OASIS templates. 
The specification may not have been changed between its approval as a 
Committee Specification and its submission to OASIS for consideration as 
an OASIS Standard, except for the changes on the title page and running 
footer noting the approval status and date.

c. Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in 
the specification, whether by inclusion or reference including fragments 
of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;

I, Heather Kreger, certify that the schema and instances are well formed 
and valid.

d. A clear English-language summary of the specification;

Web Services Distributed Management: Management Using Web Services 
(MUWS) 1.1 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 1.1 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 1.1 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 1.1 also defines standard 
management event formats to enhance interoperability and 
correlateability. It defines how to provide secure management. In 
addition MUWS 1.1 defines recommendations and interfaces for advertising 
and discovering resources.

MUWS 1.1 adds dependencies on the standardized versions of all dependent 
specifications. It also clarifies the relationships capabilities, added 
the ability to declare self in a relationship, and in MOWS, operational 
status and metrics were added for Web services

Web Services Distributed Management: Management Of Web Services (MOWS) 
1.1 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.

e. 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 1.0 is produced). WSDM 1.1 depends on the 
Standard version of these specifications.

• WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ResourceProperties
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/wsrf-ws_resource_lifetime-1.2-spec-os.pdf
• WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ResourceLifetime
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/wsrf-ws_resource_lifetime-1.2-spec-os.pdf
• WS-Resource Framework TC: WS-ServiceGroup
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/wsrf-ws_service_group-1.2-spec-os.pdf
• WS-Notifications TC: Base Notification
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsn-ws_base_notification-1.3-spec-pr-03.pdf
• WS-Notifications TC: Topics
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsn-ws_topics-1.3-spec-pr-02.pdf

WSDM is related to the following external standards 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 influence 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
• WS-Addressing http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-addr-core

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 which 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 (link to DMTF 
Work Register:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/5414/WSDM-DMTFWorkRegister_v2.doc 

to ensure that the models produced by these groups can be represented 
using the WSDM standards. The DMTF W BEM Interoperability Protocol Work 
Group WSDM Subgroup is currently chartered to develop Web services 
protocol for accessing CIM modeled resources using the WSDM 1.1 
specification.

i. An account of or pointer to votes and comments received in any 
earlier attempts to standardize substantially the same specification,
