RE: [wsbpel] "Using BPEL4WS in a UDDI registry" OASIS UDDI Spec TC Technical Note - Review Requested

Having provided sufficient time to review the "Using BPEL4WS in a UDDI 
Registry" Technical Note it is the UDDI Spec TC’s opinion this Technical Note is 
ready to be published. It is our intent to publish this TN by the end of this 
calendar year. That said, should you have additional feedback please provide it 
no later than 3 Dec so it may be considered prior to the expected ratification 
of the TN by this TC in mid-Dec. 

We understand that there may be unresolved issues relating to the 
relevance of abstract processes as it relates to the WSBPEL specification. We 
would like to draw your attention to the fact that the TN applies to the BPEL4WS 
1.1 specification submitted to the WSBPEL TC and which defines the concept of 
abstract processes. The decision to map BPEL4WS 1.1 was deliberate – the TN aims 
at addressing current market needs.

Subject: [wsbpel] "Using BPEL4WS 
in a UDDI registry" OASIS UDDI Spec TC Technical Note - Review 
Requested

Dear WSBPEL Chairs,

The 
UDDI Spec TC has been working on a “Using BPEL4WS in a UDDI registry” Technical 
Note (TN) that it would like your input on before proceeding to ratify 
this TN.

The TN provides a mapping for publishing BPEL4WS 
abstract processes into a UDDI registry. The primary goals of mapping 
BPEL4WS artifacts to the UDDI model are to:

  
Enable the automatic registration of BPEL4WS definitions 
  in UDDI 
  
Enable optimized and flexible UDDI queries based on 
  specific BPEL4WS artifacts and metadata 
  
Provide composability with the mapping described in 
  the "Using WSDL in a UDDI 
  Registry, Version 2.0.2" [1] 
  Technical Note.

We would like to invite the BPEL TC to review and comment on the document 
and ask that you assign two or more reviewers. 

The 
TN is posted at the following 
locations by format:

MSWord: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uddi-spec/download.php/8441/uddi-spec-tc-tn-bpel-20040725.doc 

We 
would appreciate comments as soon as possible but preferably before 31 Aug 04. 
Please submit comments:
