Issue tracking (progress/review)

Nothing to report


BurdettML & OracleML

David reported on Editor's Group progress. David and Nick are working on document that will be basis for discussion in the Editor's Group.

David - Document describes meta-model for CDL

Martin - Editors have no special powers, all working group members can contribute., they are just the ones responsible for document production and folding in issue resolutions and meeting decisions.

Matin - quicker that working group can see something for editor's group the better.

LIAISONS

Monica - BPSS liaison report.

Yaron - asked why we need BPSS and this group. What is relationship?

Monica - Noted that there has been discussion that both can work together.

Question came up regarding if there is more than 1 BPSS group (OASIS, UNCFACT)

Yaron - BPSS is a chor. definition.

Martin - wait for BPSS req. doc. and see if there is overlap, etc.

Yaron - if BPSS had WSDL binding there may be no need for WS-CHOR.

Monica - BPSS starting to discuss web services.

Martin - suggested inviting BPSS to come and talk to this group.

SRT - move discussion to mailing list.

NEW ACTION: Get back to Monica on invitation to BPSS group.

Security Requirements

Tony sent an email proposing requirements for the empty security system: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2003Nov/0048.html

Tony - discussed w/ Ugo, mandatory security policies do not need to appear chor. lang.

Tony - needs to be a way of adding some security into the choreography.

David - it will be difficult to describe all the different security policies in the choreography.

Martin - equated security issue with reliability issue.

David - gave example of security requirement specific to chor., signature failure.

Martin - these are just exceptions.

David - needs to be a way of identifying these exception types.

Jeff - too low a level to discuss as requirement.

SRT - Catagorizing messages is a useful concept for chor., but this has nothing to do w/ security.

Tony - we should support business decisions regarding security of messages.

Ugo - business decisions should stay outside what we define. Hooks to support it are fine.

SRT - Message security is routing, which is out of scope. Sees value in leveraging security.

Jeffm: there will never be ONE mechanism

David - need assertion mechanism

David - assert combination of "things" that will be used for a particular web service.

Martin - we have logged this issue before.

SRT / Martin - its a web service issue.

ISSUE: Security, ensure it’s covered in an issue related to specifying policy/assertions.

Roles and behavior types

Tony sent an email querying the use of role and behaviour type in OracleML: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2003Nov/0049.html

Nick - to Tony, is it a matter of English in the proposal?

Definitions form the glossary:

Role: The identification of some behavior within a process definition or a choreography. A partner or party can play a role within a business collaboration. Note: In some choreographies, the same participant may be bound to multiple roles, or a role may be bound to different participants at different times during the execution of a choreography.

Participant: A participant can be bound to a role or an abstract designation, via a URI when a choreography is performed. Note: In some choreographies, the same participant may be bound to multiple roles, or a role may be bound to different participants at different times during the execution of a choreography.

Nick - multiple interfaces can become a role.

Nick- operations -> interfaces -> roles -> participants

Tony - distributor type could take on a number of roles, each role will need to use any number of interfaces

Tony - don't know instances at deployment time

Nick - are you suggesting adding "partner type"?

Tony - you do need it.

NEW ACTION: Nick to see if roles/participants fit with forth coming meta model

Monica - what normative are Dave and Nick using to define meta model?
