Re: [uddi-spec] Updated Agenda for 2/11-12 FTF - taxonomies

[Max Voskob <mvoskob@msi.com.au>]

Sorry guys, I don't think I will attend this FTF, unless someone will
sponsor the trip. It's quite a way off from The Middle Earth (aka New
Zealand). ;)

We haven't progressed far with Mathew in regards of other standards suitable
for use as taxonomy descriptions. I'll present on this more in the next
couple of days.
To inform you briefly I can say that Topic Maps are not very suitable at the
moment, unless we work with their TC to get what we need from them and Web
Ontology Language (W3C OWL) is in a requirements stage. Can anyone suggest
any other standard or initiative that is worth looking at?

On the other hand the situation is ridiculous. There are two customers (both
are governments, not just government agencies - federal level) who need a
registry of their information artifacts and I'd prefer to use UDDI for them
rather than ebXML Reg/Rep, but I can't !!! They want it now. Well, within a
few months.

We can easily convert UDDI from a web-service registry to a universal
registry of information artifacts and meet the strong demand in a universal
registry from enterprises . Everything is there, but the taxonomies.

THE QUESTION I'D LIKE TO ASK IF THE TC WANT TO KEEP UDDI AS A WEB-SERVICE
REGISTRY ONLY OR WIDEN UDDI APPLICATION AND USE IT AS A UNIVERSAL REGISTRY
OF INFORMATION ARTIFACTS AT THE ENTERPRISE OR GLOBAL LEVEL.



Please, express your opinions thru the mailing list or in private.

Cheers,
Max

I'm afraid I wo'n't be able to attend the FTF, so wo'n't be present to
discuss taxonomy proposal. I'm not sure if Max will be present, if not
we may need to defer this to the next teleconference?

I updated our agenda for next week's FTF to include a few CR's which I'd
like us to consider at the meeting (CR 22-26).   They're all posted on
the
FTP site, and links are in the agenda.  I also have a couple requests
for
some minor additions involving spec. typos and a short discussion on
member
section funding.    Anything else from here on goes into consideration
at
the end of the meeting if we get to it.   See you there!
