(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification; The WS-Coordination v1.2 specification describes an extensible framework for providing protocols that coordinate the actions of distributed applications. Such coordination protocols are used to support a number of applications, including those that need to reach consistent agreement on the outcome of distributed activities. The specification defines a coordination context XML type that identifies a specific activity and the "coordination type" of the agreement protocol supported by the coordinatoin context. The specification also defines protocols that enable an application service to create a coordination context and to register for coordination protocols. The framework enables existing transaction processing, workflow, and other systems for coordination to hide their proprietary protocols and to operate in a heterogeneous environment. (e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations; -- OASIS Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL) TC. The WSBPEL TC focuses on an overall business process orchestration language. WS-Coordination v1.2 does not discuss how an application operates internally, nor make any overall statement about the overall business process orchestration, but instead focuses on individual, pair-wise message exchanges between a participant in an activity and the coordinator of that activity. -- OASIS Business Transactions (BTP) TC. The WS-TX TC has a different focus with regard to specification scope, required functions, policy, and other Web Services composeability. WS-Coordination v1.2 focuses solely on simple, pair-wise message exchange patters that can be used to reach consensus. WS-Coordination v1.2 provides simpler interoperability by focusing exclusively on externally visible service behavior at the protocol level. It does not impose constraints on internal service implementations. It emphasizes clean composition with other WS-* standards, such as WS-Addressing and WS-Security. WS-Coordination v1.2 concentrates on interoperability, specifying relatively few variations and providing simple state tables rather than extensive options with considerable application semantics.
