administrivia

next F2F registration is ready

Tom: the Berlin F2F is the memorial day in us. I will have to miss two F2F due to holiday conflicts

Jonathan: it's too late to change the schedule
... Primer advanced topics contribution is due end of the month.
... Media type review. Issues reported by Marc Harley of SUN

<Marsh> ACTION: WG members review MTD by next week. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/17-ws-desc-minutes.html#action01]

component model change. LC105

arthur: the idea is we want to a simple way to check top level component equivalence
... the way the spec is written makes it difficult to compare two top level components

<Arthur> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Mar/0074.html

arthur: the proposal is at url above
... the question is: is top level extension part of the component comparison?

jonathan: i think yes

more clarification and discussion on the proposal

scribe think the url for the proposal should be http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Jan/0066.html

asir: question about proposal item 2.
... seems mixing two levels of the components

arthur: extensions can be either added as a propoerty or a component

the first step is to say how it affect the component model

the problem I am trying to solve: you actually have to build up the component model before you can say how extensions affect the component model

scribe: the problem: if I have two top level components, one with extension, one without, otherwise they are same. Are these two components equivalent?

glen and Umit: we can not decide. it depends on the processing

arthur: we need some limitation here?

Umit: how about extensions under description element?

arthur: they can only be added as components
... not as top level properties

Roberto: I am troubled by the proposal

it throw out important case, eg. how to interpret wsdl:interface

sanjiva: changing the semantic of wsdl components will have the same effect of changing (scribe missed the rest ...)

jonathan: xslt and wsdl is different.

<Marsh> Sanjiva compares WSDL extension and XSLT extension, to suggest restricted extension is good.

<Zakim> Roberto, you wanted to say that "subversion" includes bug fixing

wsdl is processed by a variety of processors

arthur: the high level bit: do we want to allow cut paste top level components from different documents

<Marsh> Strawpoll: Components are equivalent iff they come from documents that have the same infoset.

many Nos

<pauld> chad, question: Components are equivalent iff they come from documents that have the same infoset.

<pauld> chad, option yes: yes

<pauld> chad, option no: no

<JacekK> vote: yes

<GlenD> chad got quite a workout in Boston too, he deserved a little vacation :)

jonathan: in xinclude, we only compare uri for equavelance.
... seems to me, if we get rid of diamond inheritance, we will be able just to compare uri

arthur: that's more restrictive

<Roberto> I have to leave to go to another meeting, but I'd like to go on record saying that I'm against the restrictions (1) and (2) in 2005Mar/0074.html and I would vote against them in a strawpoll

<pauld> chad, question?

<TonyR> chad: abstain

<pauld> chad, voters?

<alewis> chad, count votes

<chad> Question: Components are equivalent iff they come from documents that have the same infoset.

<chad> Option no: no (9)

<chad> Option yes: yes (4)

<chad> Round 1: Count of first place rankings.

<chad> Candidate no is elected.

<chad> Winner is option no - no

* chad Round  1: Count of first place rankings.
* dbooth notes to sanjiva that that's never stopped us before ;)
* chad           Candidate no is elected.
* chad Winner is no.

jonathan: the winner is NO

arthur: it's just hard for processors. They don't know what to do when see top level extensions. throw an error? continue?
... duplicate top level components can be either included via diamond inheritance or cut/paste.

<GlenD> My regrets folks - I gotta drop off for another call now. Hasta la vista.

<GlenD> I'm in favor of my/Sanjiva's(/Umit's?) take on things, btw. Build the component model, it ain't that hard.

jonathan: any alternative proposal?

<Marsh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Mar/0074.html

<Zakim> asir, you wanted to ask a question

<sanjiva> I think we need to recognize that one CANNOT compute equivalence at the document level. Arthur's proposal is to change equivalence to be something in between name equivalence and structural equivalence.

<sanjiva> (of the corresponding component models)

lots of discussions on the 3 items in arthur's message http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Jan/0056.html

arthur insists that there should be some principle determing if two components are equivalent, people say no

example: if there are two interfaces, they are same except they pointing to two different messages. are they equivalent? the weak way is, the interfaces are equivalent, but the messages are not. but the spec has a strong way. it says the two interfaces are not equivalent either

many are satisfied with the way the spec it's

<Marsh> RESOLUTION: LC105 closed with previous resolutions only, Arthur's last proposal not adopted.

arthur: Since the group don't see this as an problem. I am willing to withdraw the proposal. Maybe when people starts implment processors, they will see the problems.
