amit has a new web page for the example

<Amit> here are more use cases: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/meteor-s/Use-Cases/

<Amit> sorry--correction on use pages: more specific page is http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/meteor-s/Use-Cases/index.php?page=2

<JacekK> ACTION: JacekK, editors to amend the issues list and the spec with an editor todo list (resolution implemented flag) [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/minutes/20060509#action03]

JacekK: added a color tag for resolved issues

joel: todo list kept in the spec

administrivia

JacekK to be non available next two meetings

<Amit> I will be available next week, but I will also be at Edingurg week after

JacekK will contact Carine to chair the next meeting (May 16)

Eric will chair the meeting after that (May 23)

Eric asks: will there be enough attendance in the WWW2006 week?

JacekK: seems that yes

Document status

Rama: doesn't have the permission to modify the document

JacekK: try to read the examples document in the week and discuss later

Rama: needs more work, for instance composition, in line of what was done for discovery

<JacekK> ACTION: editors of the examples doc to add a todo about updating any concrete examples in line with SAWSDL syntax [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/minutes/20060509#action04]

JacekK: would be nice to publish both documents at the same time.

Editorial comments on submission schema

JacekK: our schema overrides the namespace document in the web site. Is this a problem?

EricP: we have two uris for thesame thing

<JacekK> http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/spec/sawsdl

EricP: jacekK proposes that the .html overrides the .xsd?

<JacekK> ACTION: EricP to make the HTML to override the schema at http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/spec/sawsdl [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/sawsdl/minutes/20060509#action05]

JacekK: which version of wsdl are we dependent upon?
... if any, then WSDL 2.0
... believe we can make our schema independent of any wsdl version
... comment 3 : we don't need categories to be required

Rama: so it is an extension ?

JacekK: shoudn't be marked as required

Amit: you may give this as an option

Holger: agree, concerned with where it can be placed?

JacekK: extension can be placed anywhere in wsdl document
... if we allow on the category element any attribute outside our namespace, we can have the wsdl:required attribute on it

Rama: do we have an example - and can you explain the change?

JacekK: this just concerning our schema

Rama: the current state does not allow for general extensibility: a user cannot provide his category having more descriptors than currently
... would be good for the users to have the possibility to adapt their concept of a category

JacekK: use the "any" attribute for a wildcard for categories

RESOLUTION: the wsdl category type does not extend wsdl ExtensibilityElement, will allow attribute extensibility

comment 5

Questions about the extensibility of wsdl 1.1 port types

JacekK to open a new issue on this

<Amit> itis in the document

Rama: used the documentation element

<Amit> http://www.w3.org/2003/01/wsdl/wsdl12.xsd

<Amit> xs:documentation>

<Amit> This element serves as the head of a substitution group

<Amit> for extensibility elements that wish to appear as children of wsdl:portType

Issue 4 externally defined semantic annotations

Laurent: possibility of having duplicate files with distinct details

<Amit> onm postponing #7

JacekK: this issue is out of scope and shoudt be postponed

Everybody agrees

RESOLUTION: issue #4 to be postponed until CR of sawsdl

Issue 2: embedding semantic descriptions

John: difference between 1 and 3?

JacekK: there also exists option 0, by non documenting the possibility 1

Rama: just comment on the possibility, but no more

Holger: the container element could be similar to what people are used of using sdl types

<Amit> how large can the models be --- readability issues ?

<Amit> would say RDF fragment in WSDL files affect readability?

Joel: option 1 cannot allow techniques to know what language the model is in

<holger> Amit, I would see it similar to types, some times they are only a view included, sometimes it is external schema

Joel: parsing is needed with option 1

JacekK: agree with Rama that the namespace would tell us the type of the model

EricP: one dsipatch mecanism must be used to decide how to process something
... mechanism must be different when embedded

JacekK: anybody using mediatype?
... if you just require an rdf document, you still don't know if it's OWL or WSML/RDF.

Joel: if there is registered mediatype for OWL in RDF, it can solve the problem

Rama: why not just support that all these options are usable?

Joel: how much useful this is? Hard to imagine people doing such embeding.

<JacekK> option 1: <wsdl:operation sawsdl:modelReference="#foo" .../>

<JacekK> option 3: <wsdl:operation ...> <sawsdl:model> <wsml:wsml> WSML model </wsml:wsml> </sawsdl:model> </wsdl:operation>

Joel: I wouldn't go too far in supporting this.

JacekK: finally the best choice may be one

John: agreed

Holger: <<inaudible>>

RESOLUTION: close Issue 2 an let editors document option 1

<holger> I am fine but please leave - adding a mechanism like sawsdl:modelLocation [3] open

JacekK: end of the meeting.
