The expanded definition for policy [1] at times seems to cover an immense amount of the general description space but then the examples for use are mostly restricted to the tedious (but necessary for message level interoperability) details. The discussion does not support the business use that is needed if services are to accomplish more than geek talk. Even at the wire level, a big gap is how do consumers use WS-Policy to express their capabilities and requirements that will be used to determine policy intersection. The consumers do not have WSDLs and may have no interest in UDDI. They do, however, want to point to a policy that says you should not sell their contact information, i.e. what was carefully exchanged in a manner to initially ensure privacy will remain private. 16506 1 chrisfer 2007-09-12 15:04:13 +0000 1] For example, [Primer, section 2.1] Web Services Policy is a machine-readable language for representing the capabilities and requirements of a Web service. These are called ‘policies’.
