Re: [wsdm] Requirements for Management of Web Services

[John DeCarlo <jdecarlo@mitre.org>]

Sorry to reply to my own message.

I forgot to prefix the remarks with the fact that the MUWS requirements 
go into plenty of detail on support of and accessing data from a 
Management Information Model.  I was just trying to say that from a MOWS 
point of view, we want to say something similar - Web Services need to 
have a Management Information Model associated with them that can be 
accessed by managers.

My experience in other standards areas is that people developing new 
standards don't always consider the Management Information associated 
with them without prompting.

Thanks.
