RE: Annotated List of Specs Related to Web Services

Uh -- Is the text still there?  I can't find what you are referring to.
And I don't know what you mean by WS-T and WS-C.  I assume that these
are abbreviations for something (WS-Transaction?,
WS-ComfortYeThePeople?), but I really don't know what.  If there are
specs referred to directly as WS-T and WS-C I don't know about it -- or
I've suppressed the memory.

Right, thanks.  There was some text under the WS-CAF description stating
that WS-CAF is in competition with WS-T and WS-C.  That is not our
intention.  I just wanted to make that clear.

	Subject: Annotated List of Specs Related to Web Services
	The following annotated list of specs related to Web services
was originally compiled by Roger Cutler.  Paul Denning subsequently
added significantly to the references and organization of the list.  The
annotations are one person's opinions of what is going on, and do not
reflect a consensus of the Working Group, the W3C or anybody's employer.
As will be apparent, some of the annotations reflect the limitations of
what I happen to know about.
	SOAP - Basic messaging spec for Web services. SOAP 1.1 has been
very widely implemented and is part of the WS-I Basic Profile Version
1.0. SOAP 1.2 went to Recommendation status in June, 2003. It does not
seem likely that SOAP 1.2 will be particularly controversial and major
vendors will probably implement it quickly now that it is a
recommendation.

	EbMS - EbXML Messaging - transport, routing and packaging of
business transactions. Part of the larger ebXML structure, this spec
leverages SOAP 1.1 but adds a number of business-critical capabilities
such as security (roughly at the level of WS-Security, I think) and
reliability. EbMS 1.0 was part of the original ebXML package, ebMS 2.0
is a significant improvement, currently in "final draft" in OASIS (I
think). In practice it appears that much of the industry uptake of ebXML
has been essentially ebMS as opposed to the higher level portions of the
ebXML package.

	WSDL - Basic Web services description spec. WSDL 1.1 has been
very widely implemented and is part of the WS-I Basic Profile Version
1.0. WSDL 1.2 is being developed in the W3C and is in a "middle" stage
of the process. There does not seem to be any particular competition to
WSDL 1.2 in other standards organizations and major vendors will
probably implement it quickly once it becomes a recommendation (which
will take a while).

	EbCPPA - EbXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement -
The Collaboration Protocol Profiles (CPPs) and Agreements (CPAs) which
define a business partner's technical capabilities to engage in
electronic business collaborations with other partners, and the
technical agreement between two or more partners to engage in electronic
business collaboration. Version 1.0 was part of the original ebXML
package, version 2 has significant upgrades and was ratified Dec, 2002.
Although the CPP/CPA framework seems very business oriented, I do not
know of many (or any, to be honest) examples of it being used in
production.

	UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration)- Web
services registry. Version 2 adopted 4/2003 has been implemented by a
number of vendors. Version 3, under development, includes new features
like subscriptions/notification, support for digital signatures, keys
assigned by publishers rather than registry providers (which may
facilitate the development of federation), better support for copying of
registry entries between non-replicated registries. UDDI v3 specifies
Schema Centric Canonocalization when using digital signatures.
Implementation of UDDI on the internet has stalled but there is
widespread interest in using UDDI in corporate intranets.

	AS2 - Probably best viewed as an alternative to Web services,
AS2 is a draft spec from the IETF. It has not made it completely through
the IETF process, but it appears to be relatively stable nonetheless. It
provides basic but non-extensible security and reliability features for
a payload that may be a binary file (typically an old fashioned EDI
file) or XML. AS2 seems to be appropriate for simple transactions,
particularly those that can be performed synchronously, but may not lend
itself to more elaborate scenarios. WalMart has provided a huge boost to
AS2 implementation by requiring in order to do EDI business with them.
See, for example, discussions in product offerings from Isoft and
Sterling Commerce.

proof of data integrity, message and user authentication. Used by
WS-Security and ebXML security. This is a mature, widely used spec.

	WS-CHOR - Web Services Choreography WSCI, from Sun and others
(not MS/IBM), was a major submission but the working group has received
other submissions and has moved significantly beyond WSCI. Describes the
flow of messages exchanged by a Web Service participating in
choreographed interactions with other services. Considerable overlap
with BPEL, but more declarative and oriented toward message sequencing
rather than process description. WS-CHOR is intended to be a language
that allows machines to figure out how to use Web services, BPEL focuses
on how to control Web services.  (See also

	BPEL - Web Services Business Process Execution Language business
process execution language which form the necessary technical foundation
for multiple usage patterns including both the process interface
descriptions required for business protocols and executable process
models. Based on BPEL4WS submission from Microsoft, IBM and BEA. WSFL
(IBM) and XLANG (Microsoft) were earlier efforts. Considerable overlap
with Web Services Choreography, but more process oriented. See above.

	ebBPSS - ebXML Business Process - Representation and model
compatible with an underlying generic metamodel for business processes,
activities, and collaboration. This is the ebXML version of
choreography, and I think it is simpler than either WS-CHOR or BPEL.
Version 1.001 was part of the original ebXML package, and I think that
an OASIS TC is just now in the process of starting up to work on
enhancements. I am not aware of any significant applications of ebBPSS.

	WS-Security  Construct secure SOAP message exchanges, including
provision for multiple security tokens for authorization and
authentication, multiple trust domains, multiple encryption technologies
and end-to-end message-level security (not just transport-level
security). Out of scope: multiple message exchanges, key exchange,
establishing and maintaining trust. WS-Security defines two core
capabilities: 1- how to use XML-Signature and XML-Encryption with SOAP
messaging. It specifies how to pass signatures and key information in a
SOAP header. 2- how to pass security tokens with a SOAP message.
WS-Security supports a variety of security tokens (each defined by its
own binding specification), such as userid/password, X.509 certificates,
Kerberos tickets, and SAML tokens. The WS-Security TC is just starting
in OASIS, but major vendors (MS, IBM) have already implemented the
submitted spec.

	SAML  Security Assertion Markup Language. Exchanging
authorization and authentication information. Version 1.0 finalized
11/2002. SAML defines three core capabilities: 1- how to represent
security tokens in XML. These tokens are called assertions, and SAML
defines three types of assertions -- authentication, authorization, and
attributes. (attributes provide qualifying information that constrain
the other assertions -- such as spending limits or timing constraints).
An assertion is made by some type of trust authority. 2- a process model
for obtaining security tokens from a trust authority. This includes a
set of protocols for accessing a trust authority. SAML defines two types
of trust authorities: Policy Decision Points (PDPs) and Policy
Enforcement Points (PEPs). SAML has defined bindings for multiple
protocols, including SOAP/WSDL. 3- a set of protocol bindings for
conveying SAML tokens. SAML 1.1 defines how to pass SAML tokens for
browser applications. It does not define bindings for how to pass SAML
tokens in SOAP messages -- that is left to WS-Security. It appears that
this spec may be getting some real traction in terms of practical
implementations. See, for example, this auto industry implementation.

	Reliable Messaging: A protocol that allows messages to be
delivered reliably between distributed applications in the presence of
software component, system, or network failures by implementing an
acknowledgement infrastructure. There are two major specs that differ in
some technical respects but which by and large implement the same type
of functionality:

	XACML  XML Access Control Markup Language  Fine-grained access
control to XML documents, including by element, sub-tree, temporal, data
dependent and so on. Here is a brief introduction to XACML. XACL from
IBM, was one of the major submissions for this spec but there were a
number of others and XACML differs substantially from XACL. Spec

	WS-Transaction Framework - WS-Transaction and WS-Coordination
were originally released by IBM, Microsoft and BEA along with BPEL4WS.
These specifications have recently been updated and revised. The latest
set of specifications for the WS Transaction Framework, published by the
same authors, include an updated WS-Coordination spec,
WS-AtomicTransaction which replaces part 1 of WS-Transaction, and
WS-BusinessActivity (still to be published) which replaces part 2 of
WS-Transaction. WS-Coordination defines the protocols for creating
activities, registering in activities, and transmitting information to
disseminate an activity. WS-AtomicTransaction defines the Atomic
Transaction coordination type, which is appropriate to use when building
applications that require a consistent agreement on the outcome of a
short-lived distributed activity, where strong isolation is required
until the transaction completes. WS-BusinessActivity defines the
Business Activity coordination type, which is appropriate to use when
building applications that require a consistent agreement on the
coordination of a distributed activity, where strong isolation is not
feasible, and application-specific compensating actions are used to
coordinate the activity. It appears to me that the WS-Transaction
Framework and the Web Services Composite Application Framework
(described below) are playing in more or less the same space and are not
obviously compatible. That is, that they are in competition.

	Web Services Composite Application Framework (WS-CAF) - WS-CAF
defines a generic framework for applications that contain multiple
services used in combination (composite applications). It specifies
interoperable mechanisms to set the boundaries of an activity (such as
start/end, or success/failure), to create, access and manage context
information, and to inform participants of changes to an activity. And
it supports a range of transaction models, including simple activity
scoping, single and two phase commit ACID transactions, and recoverable
long running activities. The WS-CAF suite includes three specs published
by Arjuna, Fujitsu, IONA, Oracle and Sun: Web Service Context (WS-CTX )
a lightweight framework for simple context management, Web Service
Coordination Framework (WS-CF) a sharable mechanism that manages context
augmentation and lifecycle, and Web Services Transaction Management
(WS-TXM) which comprises three distinct, interoperable transaction
protocols that can be used across multiple transaction managers. A new
OASIS TC has recently been created to further develop the WS-CAF
specifications.

privacy policy, QoS characteristics. Another Microsoft, IBM, BEA spec,
not submitted yet to any standards body.

	WS-Addressing - provides transport-neutral addressing for Web
services that work through firewalls, gateways, etc. Another spec from
MS/IBM/BEA, it apparently replaces WS-Routing. I don't think it has been
submitted to any standards body.

	WS-Federation - A spec for standardizing the way companies share
user and machine identities among disparate authentication and
authorization systems spread across corporate boundaries. Developed by
IBM/MS/BEA/RSA, I think it is at least partly in competition with the
ID-WSF from the Liberty Alliance, discussed below..

	SPML - Service Provisioning Markup Language
-http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=provision -
framework for exchanging information between provisioning service
points.  Provisioning refers to what happens, for example, when a new
employee shows up and changes are required in corporate LDAP, HR
database and so on.  This spec does not seem particularly controversial,
but there also doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in it,
although it has apparently been implemented in the catalyst industry.
	
	ID-FF - IDentity Federation Framework, from the Liberty
Alliance. Defines an architecture for providing federated network
identity that enables single signon functionality for a user to multiple
service providers. Liberty is a major consortium that does not include
MS or IBM, and the products are more or less in competition with
varioius WS-* specs. I think that ID-FF is more or less along the same
lines as WS-Policy. Submitted to OASIS.
	
	ID-WSF - IDentity Web Services Framework - Another spec from the
Liberty Alliance, it builds on ID-FF and provides a framework for
identity based web services in a federated network identity environment.
I believe that ID-WSF is pretty much in the same space, and incompatible
with, WS-Federation. Detailed comparison is beyond the scope of this
document, but it appears that both have a number of components for which
there is no comparable function in the other, with Liberty possibly
being the more fully developed. In addition, they have made different
technology choices for similar functions (e.g. ID-WSF Discovery Services
vs UDDI for WS-Federation.
	
	WSRP - Web Services for Remote Portlets - Intended to provide
"plug-n-play" for portals and other apps that aggregate content.
Recently adopted as an OASIS standard, the players in the interop
testing include BEA, IBM and Oracle. Microsoft, Sun and many others
participated in the TC. This spec seems to have wide industry
participation, but I have no idea how soon to expect implementation.
