Submission request to W3C
Web Services Resource Transfer (WS-RT) Submission request to W3C
Submitted Materials
We, W3C Members CA, Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM and Intel hereby submit to the
Consortium the following specification, comprising the following document
attached hereto:
- Web Services Resource Transfer
which is referred to as "the
Submission". We request the Submission be known as the WS-RT Submission.
Abstract
This specification is intended
to form a core component of a unified resource access protocol for Web
services. The operations described in this specification constitute an
extension to the WS-Transfer specification, which defines standard messages for
controlling resources using the familiar paradigms of "get",
"put", "create", and "delete". The extensions
deal primarily with fragment-based access to resources to satisfy the common
requirements of WS-ResourceFramework and WS-Management.
