RE: [wsrp-pfb] UDDI tech note draft-08

Richard,

I commend your TC for such a nice job of mapping WSRP onto UDDI. I'd like to offer some brief comments on the TN (albeit these are based on draft 7 as I haven't had a chance to review draft 8 yet).

A. useType attribute on accessPoint.

I like the fact that the TN isolates itself from v2 and v3 version issues but would like to propose that you note the following wrt the use of "useType" in the context of UDDI v3. The TC anticipated the use of a WSDL as an access point and thus provided support for it in UDDI v3 (which by the way maps to "other" in v2 as you've chosen). Section 3.5.2.1 accessPoint of the v3 spec [1] describes the following useType: "wsdlDeployment: designates that the accessPoint points to a remotely hosted WSDL document that already contains the necessary binding information, including the actual service endpoint."

I think it would be worth mentioning this as a footnote in the TN

B. Categorization of the urn:oasis:names:tc:wsrp:wspr_producer_service_reference tModel

I recommend that his tModel be categorized with the uddi-org:entityKeyValues category system to enforce the reference to a businessService. For more information on this tModel - please see Section 11.1.9 UDDI “Entity Key Values” Category System of the v3 spec [1].

I think that careful review of version 8 and future drafts may uncover additional small issues and to this end, I recommend that the UDDI Spec TC review this TN though we may want to do so once you get closer to completing your work. I've copied the UDDI Spec TC as a heads up.

Hi all,

I just post these to the list for now for a final SC review.
As discussed please review the TN and let me know of intended changes.
I espacially added the appendix A-E, added clarification on Portlet publishing (tModelKey redundancy in case of UDDI V3, Producer service
reference) and revised the suggested editorial changes.
Would be great if you could finish your review by end of monday (no matter what timezone :-) ).
After that we can enter TC review.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards,
