Subject: RE: [wsbpel] "Using BPEL4WS in a UDDI registry" OASIS UDDI Spec TC Technical Note - Review Requested


Hello Danny,
 
for a service provider (i.e. TravelAgency) it makes sense to publish an abstract BPEL PRocess which describes as a template how a Process of a TravelAgent has to look like. AbstractBPEL cannot describe the observal overall process, but it can describe in an abstract way the exepcted sequence of invocations (and therefore also the offered ports).
 
I think the UDDI TN is nearly compelte in that respect, only the wording "observal state" needs to be changed.
 
Also I wonder if the Process Local Name needs to have its own attribut in the tModel/Bag, but I am not very familiar with UDDI.
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

as i said in conference today, i am afraid that the UDDI TC is even more confused about what Abstract BPEL is than we are.  other than pointing out even more strongly the importance of getting our definition of Abstract BPEL pinned down, i think that this note should lead us in 2 directions:
 
1) finding out why someone would want to register an Abstract BPEL with UDDI.
2) changing the name of Abstract BPEL.  this is not the first time i've seen someone confuse the relationship between Abstract BPEL and Executable BPEL to conflate it with the relationship between Abstract WSDL and Concrete WSDL, and unless we change the name, i'm sure it won't be the last.
 
i admit, i haven't read the UDDI proposal referenced in this note, but i feel pretty safe in my assumption without having read it.

Dear WSBPEL Chairs,

The UDDI Spec TC has been working on a "Using BPEL4WS in a UDDI registry" Technical Note (TN) that it would like your input on before proceeding to ratify this TN.

The TN provides a mapping for publishing BPEL4WS abstract processes into a UDDI registry. The primary goals of mapping BPEL4WS artifacts to the UDDI model are to:

  1. Enable the automatic registration of BPEL4WS definitions in UDDI
  2. Enable optimized and flexible UDDI queries based on specific BPEL4WS artifacts and metadata
  3. Provide composability with the mapping described in the "Using WSDL in a UDDI Registry, Version 2.0.2" [1] Technical Note.

We would like to invite the BPEL TC to review and comment on the document and ask that you assign two or more reviewers.

The TN is posted at the following locations by format:

We would appreciate comments as soon as possible but preferably before 31 Aug 04. Please submit comments:

To: Claus von Riegen, SAP (claus.von.riegen@sap.com),
