RE: NEW ISSUE: framework and domain specific policy assertions-- clarification of division of concerns in the Introductory sentence

OK, replacement now would read :

 

Policies for Web Services express capabilities, requirements and general
characteristics of entities in an XML-based, Web Services system.
Languages for stating policies have two parts: a part comprising the
domain specific language used to state policy assertions, and a language
framework for organizing groups of policy alternatives. This
specification, Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework, provides a general
purpose model and corresponding syntax to describe the policies of
entities in a Web services-based system.

 

 

This slight restatement seems to capture what you presented to the group
as the context and intent of the Framework.

This doesn't sound right. The Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework 

provides a general purpose model and corresponding syntax to describe
the policies of entities in a Web services-based system.

Subject: NEW ISSUE: framework and domain specific policy assertions--
clarification of division of concerns in the Introductory sentence

 

 

 

Title - framework and domain specific policy assertions, 

 

Description - 

 

The introductory section of [1] needs to be made a little crisper in
explaining the presumed division of labor between a policy framework
specification and a policy domain specification.

 

Justification - 

 

Web Services Policy provides a flexible and extensible language for
expressing the capabilities, requirements, and general characteristics
of entities in an XML Web services-based system. Web Services Policy 1.5
- Framework defines a framework and a model for the expression of these
properties as policies.

 

Target - 

 

At least the initial sentences of the Introduction of [1] could use some
tinkering.

 

Proposal - 

 

[Disputed items like XML left in. "Language" replaces "grammar", though.
]

 

Policies for Web Services express capabilities, requirements and general
characteristics of entities in an XML-based, Web Services system.
Languages for stating policies have two parts: a part comprising the
domain specific language used to state policy assertions, and a language
framework for organizing groups of policy alternatives.
