RE: i037: Replace QName's with anyURI

How about something similar to what is mentioned in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2001Aug/0134.html
 
For example:
	Qname: {http://bosnewslife.com/,
BosNewsLife_x0020_Information_x0020_ServicesSoap} 
will map to
	
wsa:BosNewsLife_x0020_Information_x0020_ServicesSoap:http://bosnewslife.
com/

Which not too bad to look at or understand...

Thanks,
dims

Subject: i037: Replace QName's with anyURI



This issue [1] centers around replacing QNames in attribute values or
element content with URIs.

 

The use of a QName is used in three places current working draft:

 

1)       wsa:RelatesTo/@RelationshipType information header (attribute
value)

2)       wsa:EndpointReference/wsa:PortType element in an EPR (element
content)

3)       wsa:EndpointReference/wsa:ServiceName element in an EPR
(element content)

 

Mapping the RelationshipType attribute with a URI is relatively
straightforward.  We could designate a URI like
http://www.w3.org/2004/10/addressing/relationship/reply for the default
case of relating a reply to the originating message; in other cases,
since the type would be anyUri, developers could simply use their own
URIs.  This is good.

 

As DavidO pointed out [2], it is much more complicated to replace the
QNames representing wsdl:portTypes and wsdl:service with URIs.  This
will essentially require us to craft a definitive mapping of these WSDL
QNames to URIs to be used within WS-Addressing.  For this WSDL [3]
(picked randomly from xmethods.net) one possibility here could be:

 

Qname: {http://bosnewslife.com/,
BosNewsLife_x0020_Information_x0020_ServicesSoap} 

 

mapping to 

 

URI:
http://bosnewslife.com#BosNewsLife_x0020_Information_x0020_ServicesSoap
<http://bosnewslife.com/#BosNewsLife_x0020_Information_x0020_ServicesSoa
p> 

 

This works in this simple case but could easily be problematic in other
cases.  Is there a mapping that would work in all cases (i.e. any valid
WSDL)?

 

Despite the TAG finding regarding this kind of issue [4], it seems that
this is a case where using a QName is much more natural. For now I am +1
on changing the Relationship type to anyUri and -1 on changing the
wsdl:portTypes and wsdl:service QNames to URIs.
