Subject: A consistent use-case for primer
Hi Folks, After our primer telecon yesterday, when I hastily withdrew my objection to using a stock brokerage/portfolio management example, for various reasons I don't want to belabor in this message, I got to thinking about it some more and decided I really don't think that it is a wise choice after all. I have been banging my head against all the older scenarios, and was reminded in most of them that there were problems here and there with most, as well as with my own current project, building a presentation of WSRP and CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) from the Emergency Management TC. One of my concerns was that it would be best to have one example follow through the tutorials we put into the primer, and that this example be used for demonstrating the publish, find, bind features in the Registration Interface, including use of both UDDI and ebXML, in keeping with our plan to offer real-world examples and code (examples and code that would work, that is, not the actual Portals or Services of the example). It must also fit with demonstrations of the Service Description Interface, Markup Interface and Portlet Management Interface, all of which it does. So, while going over the primer thus far and continuing to review the use cases and scenarios we have dealt with in the process of building WSRP 1.0 and moving now into issues for 1.1, I decided that I could offer an alternate example by adapting the "Search UDDI..." scenario Andre worked up and which is available in the documents section of the WSRP webpages. However, before I actually include it in my edit of the current primer and start asking for assistance in building some sample portlets and a Portal Design exercise as part of the Markup Interface, I wanted to share this idea with you all and ask if it makes sense to you and if you would be willing to use it. From our Scenario Form Description: HealthCareConcerns, LLC., is a Portal development company, specializing in horizontal Medical Information Resources (Medical Informatics), including a searchable database of insurance providers, and vertical Medical Supplies procurement/supply chains. It develops a broad range of Healthcare-related Portals using domain-specific expertise from related but unintegrated market segments in order to focus on making itself a Healthcare Information Clearinghouse. HealthCareConcerns, ILLC., designs and builds specialized sites for knowledge-base delivery clients, by integrating domain-specific Portlets into Portals that service a range of information providers from specific niche markets to more broadly based Heathcare market segments, such a Home-based Elderly Care Products and Services or Maternity-related products and services. It will use UDDI and ebXML to publish its services and the services of its Portal clients and to search for new Portlets, based on an initial profile it makes of its specific clients. While some of the expertise and knowledge I have developed over the last several years can be used in this, it is not strictly an instance of the proof of concept Public Healthcare Preparedness Portal I am working on. However, I won't say that it doesn't also fit into other plans I have, but I always try to make any project serve more than a single purpose if I can. This scenario also provides what I think is a decent range of the kinds of Portals and Portlets WSRP can facilitate without either relying on either well-used examples such as stock market/brokerages or purchasing orders. Of all the previous scenarios the one I would have chosen as both simple and fairly straight forward was the memory configurator, but it has a couple of problems, mostly due to its being a customization example, which is a bit ahead of 1.0. Please let me know what you think. I am asking the markup committee, too since this is probably where I will be asking for samples regardless of which scenario we choose to follow through with for the Tutorials.
