Review of WSDL 2.0 drafts

<Jonathan_Marsh> http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/lc-issues/actions.html

Jonathan: there are few outstanding editorial action items

<scribe> ACTION: Arthur to work on the remaining editorial action items [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/11/17-ws-desc-minutes.html#action01]

Jonathan: should we worry about the table formatting issue?

Sanjiva: need some editorial adjustments to the table

Hugo: am OK if there is a better table

Jonathan: this is strictly editorial adjustment

<scribe> ACTION: Sanjiva to propose a new table format [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/11/17-ws-desc-minutes.html#action02]

Vote to move to Candidate Recommendation

Jonathan: editors will complete the editorial actions by end of this week, drafts are open for review until Wed next week
... proposes a roll call vote

Jeff: agrees

Hugo: we should talk about the exit criteria

Jonathan: lets discuss after the vote
... shall we go to CR next wed if there aren't any known red flags?

<kendallclark> It was Alex Tribek from my computer. Sorry.

Aye: SAP, Sonic, Sun, BT, Canon, W3C, University of Maryland (Mindlab), Macromedia, Oracle, DERI, TIBCO, IBM, Microsoft, WSO2

Nay: 0

Abstain: 0

No. of Years = 3.9

<sanjiva> hats off to the chair and the group!

<kendallclark> or XQuery... brutal.

<Jonathan_Marsh> ACTION: Marsh to add link to test coverage page from our web site [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/11/17-ws-desc-minutes.html#action03]

RESOLUTION: request the Director to advance WSDL drafts as CR drafts

<Arthur> 2002/ws/desc/test-suite/test-suite-coverage-summary.xml

CR testing issues/progress

<Arthur> http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/test-suite/test-suite-coverage-summary.xml?rev=1.1&content-type=text/xml

<Jonathan_Marsh> ACTION: Marsh to debug/improve test coverage page [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/11/17-ws-desc-minutes.html#action04]

Arthur: The test suite summary table shows the coverage for each element and attribute of the WSDL 2.0 schema. We need complete coverage, so rows with 0 test case (red) require a test case. I am asking the WG members to contribute test cases for the red rows.

... In addition, we'll compile a list of assertions that specify conditions that documents must satisfy, but that can't be checked by the WSDL schema. I haven't generated the list of assertions or the coverage yet. However, when I do, we should have at least one test case for each assertion. The test case should violate its assertion (but be valid wrt to the WSDL schema).

<scribe> ACTION: Arthur to modify the style sheets to eliminate the assertions table from the CR drafts [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/11/17-ws-desc-minutes.html#action05]

Exit Criteria

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Nov/0036.html

Hugo: points out three things
... First, SOAP 1.1 Binding is a working group note. We may not be able to publish this as a CR draft. We need a clear status section that explains this

Jonathan: this is about publishing as CR and then publishing as a note

Hugo: not sure if the process prohibits this practice

Jonathan: chair and staff contact to discuss in detail

Hugo: Second, did any of the OASIS group complete a formal review of WSDL last call drafts

Jonthan: didn't receive any formal comments

<sanjiva> FYI we are implementing the HTTP binding ... not sure whether it'll be *all* of it but certainly the bulk of it

Hugo: Third, we'll be asked what do you mean by interoperable implementations. We should document our intentions clearly

Arthur: messages, sequence of messages (testing of meps)

Hugo: will a validator help us exit CR?

Jonathan: in addition to a validator, we need implementations that produce and consume messages that conform to WSDL
... did we discuss required vs. optional?
... we don't have different criteria for required and optional features

Hugo: we are aiming for a lower bar

Jonathan: is worried about HTTP binding

Hugo: on the second day of the F2F, we discussed this question. We have some folks interested in HTTP binding
... does SOAP binding depend on HTTP binding? We ended up not marking HTTP binding at risk

Jonathan: it may take until mid Dec to go to CR
... we should be focusing on CR implementation, test suite and execute on the CR related administrative work

<sanjiva> Can someone let me know who else is planning on implementing the HTTP binding please?

RDF Mapping issues/progress

<sanjiva> (I'd like to compare notes etc.)

<kendallclark> FWIW, Bijan was in Manchester this week interviewing for a job at the Uni.

<kendallclark> yep

Jacek: is preparing the list of issues and producing the mapping table

<sanjiva> bye
