Charter

The purpose of the OASIS WSIA/WSRP Joint Interfaces Subcommittee is to specify the set of common interfaces that underlie both WSRP and WSIA. The goal is to leverage the work of both technical committees in the creation of a common remote services discovery and invocation specification, which both the WSIA and WSRP specifications may look to as a foundation.

NAME

The name of this Subcommittee shall be the OASIS WSIA/WSRP Joint Interfaces Subcommittee.

PURPOSE

The aims of this subcommittee shall be as follows:

1. Define the set of requirements that address the WSIA Embedded use case and relevant scenarios.
2. Harmonize this set of requirements with the requirements that emerge from ongoing discussions in WSRP. Requirements must be sufficiently broad to account fully for WSRP needs within the scope of WSIA Embedded services. Where it’s obvious that additional specificity is needed on the WSRP side that goes beyond the WSIA Embedded scope, the relevant specifics should be captured.
3. Draw up a draft specification that covers the common requirements. WSRP specifics to be called out separately as needed (co-requirements? appendices?).
4. Present the draft specification at the joint WSRP/WSIA face-to-face meeting in June.

DELIVERABLES

The primary deliverable of the subcommittee is a draft specification of the joint WSRP/WSIA interfaces:

As currently envisioned, the subcommittee’s work will take place in two phases:

1. A first phase to gather requirements and draft a specification as outlined above. The delivery date for this draft is timed for presentation at the joint face-to-face meeting the week of June 24^th.
2. The next phase takes place in the time frame after the face-to-face, at which point requirements from the Customized use case will be ready for consideration as part of the final draft of the joint specification.
