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?
[mpm] 

  
 

  
yes 

[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
[mpm] 

  
 

  
yes 

[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/...")
[mpm] 

  
 

  
not at this point; it would mean 
  re-working all the files. PR02 only lives in 
  Kavi. 

[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)
[mpm] '

  
 

  
yes, you're right - they 
  should say "PR01" rather than "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?]

[mpm] 

  
CD = committee draft (CDs are to be 
  consecutively numbered)

  
PR02 was not published in Kavi due to the 
  problems with file names, etc. 

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

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?

    Diane

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 rule
