Re: [soa-eerp-comment] WSQM TC's comments

Junghee,

Thank you for bring this issue to our attention.  WSQM is heading the right
direction in addressing the Web Services quality issues with the upcoming
Web Services Quality Factors (WSQF).  I agreed with you that the SOA-EERP

Business Quality of Service (bQoS) specification can be aligned with your
WSQF, and two specifications can be aligned well.

You are welcome to use our BQoSPrice and BQoSPerformance elements defined
in our bQoS specification with the namespace of
“http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/soa-eerp/bqos/200903”, as these two

elements are defined as global elements in the schema and can be used
independently.

Also, these two elements all have extension points like the following in
the XML Schema:

<xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

We see no need for additional extension element for now.

In other words, both existing BQoSPrice and BQoSPerformance elements in the
bQoS schema can be re-used in your WSQF to represent any sub-factors about
Price and Performance without any changes. Our SOA-EERP TC would like to

see our elements to be used in other specifications.

In our future version, we can work together to have a better integration
between SOA-EERP Business Quality of Service specification and yours Web
Services Quality Factors. For example, we can reuse elements in WSQF and

reference them.

Again, thanks for your comments, and looking forward in working with your
TC for future version of EERP specification.

Best regards,

Andy Lee,
