Subject: RE: [wsdm][OMod] Updated Mows data model with versioning


Title: Message
Brian,
 
I don't disagree with the concepts that you were expressing, but according to our earlier discussion (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wsdm/200310/msg00085.html)
1. The versioning was to be expressed in a detail diagram, *in addition* to the concepts diagram. Otherwise the concepts diagram becomes cluttered with way too many things. Also today, per core WSDL there is nothing like what was expressed. We have to keep a practical, concrete point of reference.
 
2. The diagram had to express that a "versioned element X is an element X", not the vice versa. In your diagram, for example, it is expressed that a "functional interface" is an "interface version" which is not excatly true, IMO.
So, I attemted to reformulate your diagram with the above two concerns. The diagram is attached. The words to follow the diagram are as follows.
 
"
The elements of the Web services acrhitecture, expressed in WSDL, could be versioned. For example description, interface, service and endpoint could be defined in their own namespaces (not necessarily the same). The namespace could be used to contain the version. Therefore, those elements, conceptually become veriosned. For example a versioned service is a service that is also a versioned component that has a version attribute.
 
Versioned components have revisions that are related to each other via changes that happened between revisions. Each change indicates a predcessor and sucessor (if any) revisions. Each change may aggregate multiple change descriptions. Each change description may be looked at as a document or a separate statement of some sorts (e.g. "new interface was implemented").

Igor and all,
 
Here is an updated slide for the overall MOWS data model that includes versioning.  Sorry for the delay, but I just obtained Visio 2003 yesterday.
 
The Change entity relates two Service Versions.  For clarity, I've taken Zulah's comments to heart and renamed the relationships between versions as "predecessor and successor".
 
Igor, I will send the updated Visio file to you in a separate e-mail.
 
Regards,
Brian
