Re: [wsbpel-spec-edit] Re: Updated Committee Spec docs and RDDL
Mary, Alex, John and Robin,

Would it be best to set up a call to
discuss the plan going forward given the confusion we've had in the past?
 If you'd like to talk give me some ideas on available times in the
next few days and I'll confirm with a call in number. 

Thanks. 

Regards, Diane

Re: [wsbpel-spec-edit] Re: Updated Committee
Spec docs and RDDL

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the email.

Mary, other OASIS staff and others  ...

 

I would like to confirm that I understand how to deal with URLs:

[1] 

For the following URL: 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/wsbpel-specification-draft.pdf

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/serviceref/ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

we will declare them as generic URLs always point to the latest version
of those documents, right?

[2]

And, we will copy docs previously published in PR01 to the new location

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/wsbpel-specification-draft.pdf

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/serviceref/ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

[3]

I am wondering whether we do the same for PR02 by keep documents for the
version of PR02 also at docs.oasis-open.org. (e.g. " http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR02/...")

[4]

I also noticed in RDDL one of previous version URL are:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

(Note: PR01)

Some are:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CD01/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

(Note: CD01)

I am wondering: 

[a] what CD01 stands for? Comittee Draft?

[b] should they be "PR02" instead, because our last published
version are PR02 (public review 2) before our CS01 (committee specification
1)? [I hope I got all the terms, right?]

All in all, I guess it is a good idea for OASIS to come up with a clear
formal guidline on how to publish documents at docs.oasis-open.org in future
for TC members to follow.

Thanks!

Regards,

Alex Yiu

Mary, Thanks very much. 

John and Alex, please review the rddl and let us know if you have any questions.
  

Mary, 

As usual, I have questions for you!   

How do we populate the specification
uri's on the first page for this version and current version?  Do
you do that?    eg: Specification
URIs:This Version:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.html

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.doc

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.pdf

Again on the first page, I'm not sure
why you chose the link you did for the previous verson - ie, the version
that went into the second public review that shows changes from the first
public review:  http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21574/wsbpel-specification-public_review_draft_2_diff.doc

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21575/wsbpel-specification_public_review_draft_2_diff.pdf
 

The change marks might be confusing since
they're not the changes versus "This Version"  but as compared
with an older version.  It seems like it would make sense to point
to either the clean second public review version, or a copy of the second
public review versio with changes marked versus "This Version".
 The latter is available at:   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/22037/wsbpel-specification-draft%20candidate%20CD%20Jan%2025%2007%20diff%20wit%85.pdfand
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21993/wsbpel-specification-draft%20candidate%20CD%20Jan%2025%2007%20diff%20with%20public%20review%20%202.doc

How do we figure out what needs to be
put in the trademark field?  I know we use the names of other specifications
done at OASIS.   Should they be there.  Howe about those approved
by other org's or just published by companies?  I guess we'd go according
to the references section to identify them - does that sound right?  

Regards, Diane

Updated Committee Spec docs and RDDL

Hi everyone, 

  

  In order to shortcut further delays, I've taken the liberty (with
Diane's okay) to update the specification with the latest cover page(s)
metadata as well as update the RDDL file. There's one new bit of metadata
that was recently approved by the Board of Directors concerning trademarks.
More information can be found here: http://www.oasis-open.org/who/trademark.php.
Note that the last paragraph in the status section contains a field for
any additional terms that should be trademarked and will need to be updated.

  

Regards, 

  

Mary

Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL)

31 January 2007 

Introduction

This document describes version 2.0 of the WS-BPEL
namespace. It also contains a directory of links to related resources using
the Resource
Directory Description Language (RDDL) 2.0. 

Namespace URI Versioning Policy

It is the intent of the OASIS WS-BPEL Technical Committee
that the WS-BPEL v2.0 namespace URI will not change arbitrarily with each
subsequent revision of the corresponding WSDL or XML Schema documents but
rather change only when a subsequent revision, published in conjunction
with a Committee Specification, results in non-backwardly compatible changes
from a previously published Committee Specification.

Under this policy, the following are examples of backwards
compatible changes that would not result in assignment of a new namespace
URI: 

addition of new global element, attribute, complexType
and simpleType definitions

addition of new operations within a WSDL portType or binding
(along with the corresponding schema, message and part definitions)

addition of new elements or attributes in locations covered
by a previously specified wildcard

modifications to the pattern facet of a type definition
for which the value-space of the previous definition remains valid or for
which the value-space of the preponderance of instance would remain valid

modifications to the cardinality of elements for which
the value-space of possible instance documents conformant to the previous
revision of the schema would still be valid with regards to the revised
cardinality ruleRelated Resources for WS-BPEL
