Subject: [wsrp][wsia][wsrp-wsia joint interfaces][Draft Spec 0.43]Terminology
We changed the terminology for the WSIA requirements document so that it would stay at a requirements level rather than specifying a solution. I think the Joint Interfaces document should be all about a solution to the stated requirements. Monica Martin <mmartin@certivo.

Does this affect the code snippet provided below? Thanks.

In particular, I would suggest: Session Information - This is carried opaquely in the interface as a "sessionID". => goes away Persistent Information - This is carried opaquely in the interface as a "handle". Rather than "Manifestation", I would propose using "Entity" to describe the thing from which markup may be requested. I think it has the right level of opacity (Consumer has no idea what kind of entity it is) while carrying appropriate semantics (a thing that may be interacted with). Using these terms, there was also an open question at the end of our last call related to whether there were both persistent and transient entities ... If we are going to support explicit lifecycle for both of these, I would propose: handle createEntity(handle, propertyValues) sessionID createSession(handle, propertyValues) ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: < http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl> ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
