5.       Issues


a.      Use of Schematron in SCA Specifications


Correction from original agenda notice:  Danny had been contacted and 

in fact produced the message referred to below, which Mike forwarded. 

In any event, the ball is in the BPEL TC's  court. Aside from 

encouraging them to do a POC, the LSC will take no further action on 

this item.

As an fyi, Mike Edwards sent a an example of the use in a message 

dated July 09, 2008 1:58:33 AM PDT:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-liaison/email/archives/200807/msg00001.html


I don't think there is any more discussion required in the forum, but 

just in case I note it here.


There was agreement that this will drop off the agenda until and if 

the BPEL TC has a concrete proposal to make.



b.      Getting schema document associated with a particular version of the 

spec


        http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-liaison/200805/msg00017.html

        Discussion on 5/16 con-call: see above draft minutes

        continuation of discussion dependent on Anish providing a 

sample RDDL to serve as a basis for discussion.

        Anish was not able to produce the sample, so discussion was 

postponed pending that item. If sample is sent in by Anish by COB 

friday, we may discuss this if folks wish to.


Anish sent out a doc earlier today. He gave a brief walk through.

   http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-liaison/email/archives/200807/msg00014.html


If you de reference the namespace, you get the RDDL document. It 

contains all the resources that are needed. (You could of course get 

to previous versions via the spec docs itself.)


We will discuss this, in the context of a concrete proposal i hope, at 

the next call.


Sanjay: what question are we adding?

anish: idea of having RDDL doc which represents the namespace. The 

current structure only has the latest set of docs that use that ns, 

which isn't quite correct. This provides all the versions of the 

schema that use the same namespace plus a reference to the current 

spec doc. W3C TAG provided some guidance on what a RDDL doc should 

contain. Ashok thinks this is ok, but will check.


Sanjay asks are we signing up to maintain "forever" and is this 

burdensome. Anish thinks this is ok. The real issue is do we want to 

point to "everything"? TB continued next week to address and specify 

the rules for "maintenance".


Martin to consider bringing up this issue at the OASIS TAB meeting 

next week.



6. OpenCSA Project Management


     At its last meeting the OpenCSA Steering Committee decided to ask 

the LSC to start discussing a mechanism for getting status and doing 

project management to get to a coordinated release of the first 

official OASIS CS (and then OASIS standard) release. Jeff had the AI 

to put this topic on the LSC agenda.

     Coincidentally the topic was brought up in several of the TC's in 

the last few weeks, see e.g. from Anish:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-liaison/email/archives/200807/msg00009.html

       also with the notion of getting the discussion going in this 

forum.


There was general discussion of topic. No concrete conclusions, or 

specific proposals at this time, as this was the first opportunity to 

start the conversation.


2 threads: developing a status report for TC chairs, which provides 

status relative to deliverables and schedule/major milestones

            the obvious pre-requisite for the above - developing such 

a schedule

Schedule -

   The obvious OASIS major milestone is the 60 day public review, 

followed optionally by as many 15-day minimum reviews as needed until 

we get to a quality level (needs to be stated and agreed) that 

satisfies us to call for a CS vote. We have to decide how testing fits 

in, i.e. how much testing should be done before the major 60 day 

public review. Assuming at least one additional review that's a 

minimum of 3 months dealing with public reviews and their specific 

issue resolutions, so we probably don't want to wait "too long" before 

starting the review, and continue debugging/fixing while the 60 day 

review is going on  -- but we also want to have a reasonably high 

level of stability/confidence before the public review (i.e. having 

caught and fixed the major things first) so the review doesn't 

substitute for doing development. If the review generates "too many" 

issues, then dealing with their resolution (which we have to do) will 

become much more heavy weight then having discovered/fixed those 

issues before the review.

   A WAG of mid-2009 (for which i will arbitrarily pick July 4) was 

thrown out as an initial target.

   So AI's are for chairs to work backwards from that, and think about 

the implications for their TCs. Is that doable? What sorts of 

intermediate milestones would have to be defined to meet that date, 

etc., etc. The other major AI is to figure out how to get serious 

about testing, first when will be ready to start, and then what needs 

to happen?


This will become a major topic for the LSC for the next several weeks 

until we get a handle and a plan agreed to.



7.      Next Call Schedule


     The SCA/J TC has requested that we swap meeting times to 

Thursdays 10 AM Pacific starting the week of 04 Aug 2008. The 

discussion on the LSC list was positive, so we should formally decide 

to do this (or not).


APPROVE changing the LSC meeting time starting week of aug 4 so next 

LSC call will be thursday 7 aug 10:00 am PDT - Martin/Mike - UNAN


    (Ashok has a conflict at that time, but Dave Booz can represent 

Policy and Ashok will prioritize and participate on important issues.)


Sanjay will chair the next few meetings. (We can continue to use the 

same call in, or Sanjay can provide his own -- please see the next 

draft agenda which sanjay will send out.)


   Future agenda item for next call:


7 aug 2008 - 10:00 am PDT

Delivery Plans (highest priority)

Schema/RDDL doc proposal



8.      AOB
