Discussing the Key Partitions TN

 
Question
     over the date component of the name – it has been corrected.

 
“well-known”
     taxonomies should have the same tModelKey on every registry? There is some
     provision for this on uddi.org, based on a web page for registering
     tModels and value sets for sharing, but it is informal – it is
     impossible to enforce. There can be serious problems for sharing / merging
     of UDDI data when multiple registries use different tModelKeys for the
     same taxonomy. This is exacerbated when a taxonomy changes over time
     – there is the question of how different registries will keep their
     versions of the taxonomy up-to-date. We should clarify the TN to:

 
  
Recommend
      using the same tModelKey for a given taxonomy across multiple UDDI
      registries

  
Urge
      careful management of taxonomy changes across multiple registries

  
Describe
      the kind of problems that can arise if tModelKeys are not carefully
      managed (use some of Paul Denning’s text for this)

 
 
ACTION:
     UDDI TC to consider selecting a key for GLN (or its successor) and
     recording it on uddi.org

 
The
     problem of semantically equivalent taxonomies, and techniques to record
     correlations between the values of equivalent taxonomies. This is a real
     and valid problem, but perhaps outside the scope of this TN – it
     might well be worthwhile to consider writing a TN discussing the problem,
     and the fact that there is no perfect solution to this problem

 
The
     question of how to locate a UDDI registry service in a UDDI registry? Note
     that the Node entry is appropriate for locating a registry in itself, but
     not in another registry. Also, how does one identify which nodes are part
     of a single registry – each node could appear to be an independent
     registry, with no clear relationship between them. Perhaps the best idea
     would be to write a small TN describing how to register a registry in a
     registry, and how to link the nodes in a multi-node registry.

 

ACTION: Luc to update TN along these lines.
