Report on Open House at XML2003

The first lesson learned was that everyone enjoyed 
the event

and felt we need to do more of these!

 

We started at 10 in the morning and went thru to 
4pm with

a break for lunch - so clearly everyone was 
enjoying 

themselves.  All together we had 10 people 
participate thru

the day.

 

We spent most of the time deep diving into the CAM 
technology

and the work Martin Roberts has been doing at 
BT.

 

The BCM specifics were mostly overtones that we 
referenced

especially with reference to business context as a 
pervasive

factor.

 

The registry aspects were covered when we looked at 
the

specific mechanisms that CAM has for addressing 
registry

semantic content through the 
<ContentReference> section

in the CAM template.

 

We also came out of the get-together with 
several informal action 

items - mostly centered around creating outreach materials for 

the CAM technology 
to better articulate for people what CAM

can do for them.

 

1) Feedback to TC's (check!)

 

2) Add new diagram to CAM spec - copy of whiteboard 
one we brainstormed.

 

3) Process management linkage - we suddenly 
realized we can potentially

    point CAM templates at BPSS 
models - definately a wicked idea - not

    sure this is legal unless you 
are over 21 and have a license!

 

4) Need more use cases to show how context flows 
throughout.

 

5) ebXML specific use case (started diagramming) 
and SOA use case.

 

6) CAM semantics - XML rendering of components into 
registry (draft to be 

    made available in 
Janaury).

 

7) Complete WSDL binding for CAM processor using 
ASAP teams example.

 

8) Best practice paper / brochure on 
CAM.

 

That was more than enough 'to dos' for one days 
brainstorming,  All 

volunteers / help will be gratefully received on 
getting any of the above

worked on!

 

Thanks again to everyone who attended and made it a 
successful

event.
