Eric, The Web Services Description Working Group is seeking clarification on your proposed requirement related to RDF support: "[Draft, Should, Semantic Web] All conceptual elements in WSDL messages should be addressable by a URI reference. (Added 11 April, 2002.)" The group is concerned that this may require an ID attribute on every conceptual element, which may be onerous. Would it be reasonable, for example, to reword this requirement as: "All conceptual elements in WSDL documents should be uniquely addressable." For example, would it be adequate to require the qnames to be unique? Or are URIs specifically needed? Can you give us a clearer explanation of the context of this proposed requirement? A simple example would be great. (Incidentally, we are also assuming that the word "messages" should have been "documents".) David Booth W3C Fellow / Hewlett-Packard Telephone: +1.617.253.1273
