Subject: FW: [ogsi-wg] Charter for the Attributes Task Force in the W3C
This seems relevant to the OASIS WSDM work as well. Heather or Winston, Could you request participation? Andrea -----Original Message----- From: owner-ogsi-wg@gridforum.org [mailto:owner-ogsi-wg@gridforum.org] On Behalf Of Steve Graham Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 10:32 AM To: ogsi-wg@gridforum.org Subject: [ogsi-wg] Charter for the Attributes Task Force in the W3C All: Please note the work that is starting in the W3C. I have asked the chair of the W3C Web Services Description WG to start a task force related to moving the serviceData concept to WSDL 1.2. Note that there is no guarantee that this will be accepted in WSDL 1.2, but this is worthwhile trying to get this concept hardened in a broader Web services context. I have also asked that OGSI-WG memebers of the GGF be allowed to participate. This request has been accepted (see below). I ask the chairs of the OGSI-WG to appoint participants to this W3C task force. Please subscribe to the mailing list public-ws-desc-state@w3.org. Instructions are in [1]. [1]http://www.w3.org/Mail/Request ++++++++ Steve Graham sggraham@us.ibm.com (919)254-0615 (T/L 444) Emerging Technologies ++++++++ ----- Forwarded by Steve Graham/Raleigh/IBM on 06/01/2003 01:24 PM ----- "Jonathan Marsh" <jmarsh@microsoft.com> To: <public-ws-desc-state@w3.org> Sent by: cc: public-ws-desc-state-req Subject: Charter for the Attributes Task Force uest@w3.org 05/29/2003 07:50 PM After consultation with the Web Services Coordination Group (WSCG), I've put together some explicit ground rules (especially IP) for GGF participation in the Attributes Task Force. I propose we begin to operate immediately in good faith under this draft charter while I expose it to WSCG and W3C team review. I apologize in advance if this review results in changes after the fact, but it seems the expedient way forward. Purpose (as outlined in [1]): In the context of "stateful Web services", there is a need to model, as part of the WSDL definition of the service, the elements of the publicly available state made available to the service requestor. OGSI [2] has the notion of "serviceData". WebDAV has properties [3]. CORBA IDL has attributes [4]. This task force is formed to explore how to model a Web service's state in WSDL. The Initial proposal from OGSI [5] should be considered as input. Participation: Participation is open to members of the Web Services Description Working Group and the OGSI Working Group. Members from each WG are appointed to the Task Force by the Chairs of the corresponding WG. Deliverables: A proposal to the WS Description WG at the July 31st FTF on whether "attributes" should be standardized as core WSDL 1.2, and how best to accomplish this. Intellectual Property: Upon completion of the Task Force, and WS Description WG approval of adoption of the proposal into WSDL 1.2, the IP terms of the WS Description WG will apply [6]. Members of the Task Force will make good faith attempts to ensure that the proposal meets the requirements of this policy. Upon completion of the Task Force, and rejection of the proposal by the WS Description WG, any IP developed by the Task Force in efforts to refine the proposal will revert to the OGSI WG.
