Action Item Review

Martin: to kick off discuss on mailing list re: Are Semantics, Actions, Acts, Tasks, Goals all needed?

Scribe: action item still pending.
... Has also been a topic of the choreography f2f.
... Action to Chair to put it on the f2f agenda.

<dbooth> ACTION: Chair to put semantics on the F2F agenda

Katia: with Daniel to harvest from WS-Policy, WS-Security and other real world specifications. Make sure abstract terminology in WSArch maps to those specifications.

Scribe: Progress continues.
... Couple of exchanges with David.

Katia: Formalize some aspects of the spaghetti diagram.

Scribe: Some results sent this morning.
... WG members should take a look at it and are invited to provide feedback.
... Katia requests some guidance on coping with inconsistencies (header, msg. content).

MikeM: Send pointers to definitive UML diagrams to editors list

Scribe: action done.
... Mike C&M: Champion header, intermediary, architectural significance - SOAPunderspecifies this ... WSDL ignores it (why?) ... refine types of intermediaries ... end to end message path architecture.. Can/Should
... progressing.
... Feedback welcome!

MikeC: Respond to the mailing list thread as to why we removed URIfrom the ur-Trout definition of "Web service"

Scribe: still pending.
... Some discussions on when to call a standard "proprietary". Strictly speaking SOAP/1.1 is proprietary.
... But it could make sense to include it since this specifications may tackle important areas.

DBooth: 1) group could decide to work on this or not before declaring victory, or 2) someone could propose a list of "standards" to include

Hugo: Suggests to set up a poll on this question.

Scribe: Since the environment is so dynamic it could make sense to put it into a separate document.

DaveO: Customers expect us to do this. Such a document would be very helpfull to them.

Decisson: Straw poll will be set up on putting this into a non-normative appendix of the spec.

<dbooth> We have already witnessed how contentious and politically charged such a list would be. I am concerned that this would be a political feeding frenzy. If the group had to reach consensus about what to say about each spec, we would waste huge amounts of time.

<fgm> +1

<dbooth> The word "quagmire" comes to mind.

<DaveH> \foo
... quagmire - the parent of the ur trout

Scribe: http://www.xml-acronym-demystifier.org provides such a list which could be worth to harvest from.

Preliminary F2F agenda

Scribe: Discussion about the usage scenario document in WS chor.
... Some working group members express their desire to synchronize use cases with WS chor.

<DaveH> +1
... simplicity in use cases is key to them being used!!!

Scribe: WEDNESDAY PM

<fgm> Having an OWL version of the WSA is way cool

Scribe: After hours: Editors' working session. Lots of loose ends to prioritize,
... assign; a todo list to update.
