Example: Management through
Web services
A Web services exposes the management capabilities of a resource,
e.g. a W3C working group such as WS-Desc.
A requestor (eg a Management Application) might wish to:
Get working group name
Get chair name
Get names of all HP representatives in the group
Get some or all counters (number of open issues, number of
minority opinions filed, number of trouts caught, number of
Sanjiva/Tom arguments over last 24 hours…)
Set one or more counters to zero
Get all perf metrics (issue resolution rate, average size of trouts
caught…)
Get all attributes of type mgmt:alert and of value “red”
Etc. for other services that implement a “workingGroup” interface
