RE: [uddi-spec] Use of UDDI.org as a means of promoting TC, UBR, Std Group and Consortium tModels and Value Sets

Many will recall this mail and the ensuing 
discussion. I took an AR to make to update the prototype proposed and would like 
to offer this update to the TC for re-consideration.

 

I would like to add this topic as a new 
agenda item. Please review either of the Word or HTML versions of the document 
and offer your comments. If the TC will agree with the prototype and the 
approach, I would like us to request comments from the Steering Committee and an 
update to the UDDI.org Member Section web site.

[uddi-spec] Use of UDDI.org as a means of promoting TC, UBR, Std Group and 
Consortium tModels and Value Sets

(Apologies for my last and premature 
mail)

 

A 
few meetings ago, the topic of where to post non-normative tModels came up in a 
discussion; we never concluded this discussion. I'd like to revive it and obtain 
your input on the following.

Background

  
As some of you may know, during the course of the v3 
  spec development, we removed from the spec those tModels and value sets that 
  were not considered appropriate to make normative in favour of having the UDDI 
  Business Registry (UBR) to manage these. They include the 
  following:

  
    
1 UDDI Business Registry Value Set tModels: 
    Category System, Identifier Systems and Categorization 
    Groups

    
 

    
1.1 North American Industry Classification System 
    (NAICS) 1997 Release 
1.2 United Nations Standard Products and Services 
    Code System (UNSPSC) Version 7.3 
1.3 ISO 3166 Geographic Code System 
    
1.4 ISO 3166 Code Derivation for Business Locations 
1.5 ISO 3166 and 
    UNSPSC Code Group System 
1.6 World Geodetic System 1984 
1.7 WGS 84 
    Latitude Code System 
1.8 WGS 84 Longitude Code System 
1.9 WGS 84 
    Altitude Code System 
1.10 Geographic Precision Code System 
1.11 UDDI 
    Business Registry Postal Address Structure 
1.12 Dun & Bradstreet 
    D-U-N-S® Number Identifier System
1.13 Thomas Register Supplier 
    Identifier Code System
1.14 ISO 6523 International Code Designator (ICD) 
    System

    
 

    
2 UDDI Business Registry Core 
    tModels

    
 

    
2.1  Domain Key Generator for the UDDI 
    Business Registry Domain
2.2  UDDI JIS X 4061 Japanese sortOrder 
    qualifier

  
The UBR's Operator's Council is currently in the 
  process of reviewing these tModels in support of its UDDI v3 deployment work. 
  This topic is long overdue.

TC, Standards Groups and 
Consortium Needs

  
As we've discussed and continue to encounter, the TC, 
  other standards groups and consortium need a place where they can collect and 
  promulgate the existence of their tModels and value sets (e.g. WSDL v2 TN, 
  ebXML TN, etc). 

Proposal

  
The UBR Operator's Council is considering asking the 
  UDDI Steering Committee to post UBR tModels on UDDI.org. At the same 
  time, the OC discussed the need/desire for the TC/Consortium to have 
  a similar forum and thought that we should consult the 
  TC.

  
 

  
To this end, the OC has created a prototype page to 
  be added to the UDDI.org site; please find it attached. The prototype 
  suggests the addition of a "Common tModels" navigation link which displays the 
  content of the attached. 

  
 

  
Please review this prototype. This matter will be put 
  on the agenda for the next TC call.

Action Required

  
A. The OC is soliciting your support and 
  interest for this; while it can proceed independently from the TC, it would be 
  best to coordinate this.

  
 

  
B. We need to discuss the criteria for what gets 
  published on the page; I would expect the Steering Committee to be the gate 
  keeper but they would require guidance from the TC on matter of 
  criteria

  
 

As a next step once we complete this discussion and if 
the TC is favourable to posting such information, the next step would be 
for the TC (and the OC) to make a request to the UDDI-SC asking for 
this content to be posted.

 

For 
your consideration.
