Kenneth, Your raise some important points. With requirements due out in April it is of the utmost importance that we gather requirements from as many sources as are relevant. All of the other "standards" are relevant to this and it is why they are listed as inputs to the process in the charter. Prof Van de Aalst's papers (the uri's have been included in previous emails to this group) look at many of these other standards and provides a basis (but not the only basis) for comparison. So some work has already been done and no doubt the working group will continue this and further hone it. Of course gathering requirements also requires the input from users and we will also need to focus on gathering requirements that are meaningful to them. To this end I would anticipate that users become involved in the working group directly (as some are) and indirectly (through vendors). WSCI and WSCL are the only, for want of a better word, "submission" to the working group because they are already W3C inputs. Standards like BPSS, DAML-S and BPEL4WS are inputs but not submission because they are not W3C inputs (I think the correct term is "working notes"). A reading list will be provided in due course that includes various material which helps to understand the commonality and differences between the various standards and I hope this provides useful in helping you and the rest of us in understanding what is out there. Cheers Steve T -----Original Message----- From: public-ws-chor-request@w3.org [mailto:public-ws-chor-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Kenneth Andersson Sent: 26 February 2003 02:22 To: public-ws-chor@w3.org Subject: Orchestration "standards" pros and cons I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that only WSCI and WSCL are the only W3C Notes so far, yet there is so much experience and many different backgrounds on this list. According to the schedule in the WS-Chor charter, the first requirements document for WSs Choreography is supposed to come out in April. I hope to get some input from all "standards" out there (WSCI, WSCL, BPEL [WSFL, XLANG], BPSS, XPDL, ...). What are the pros and cons? What makes each a good/bad candidate to base the W3C WS-Chor spec on? Thanks, Kenneth
