Subject: PR Issue 36 New (Editorial) Issue: Compliance vs. Conformance
PR Issue 36 -----Original Message----- From: Pete Wenzel [mailto:pete.wenzel@Sun.COM] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 12:57 PM To: ws-rx@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [ws-rx] New (Editorial) Issue: Compliance vs. Conformance Section 1.3 of WSRM and Section 1.4 of WSRMP discuss "compliance" of implementations with the specification. However, that term is widely associated with specific (legal) obligations involving (governmental or other) regulations, mandates and testing/certification authorities. In this case, it would be better stated as "conformance" to the specification. Proposal: Replace occurrences of "compliance/compliant with" with "conformance/conformant to" in above-noted sections. This aligns these sections with the rest of the WSRM text, in which "conform" is used--never (forms of the word) "comply". --Pete Pete Wenzel <pete.wenzel@sun.com> Sun Microsystems, SOA & Business Integration Standards & Product Strategy +1 (626)471-6311, Sun x61311, US-Pacific TZ
