As to the first goal, I think Anne mentioned that the WSAWG will identify functional gaps and hence identify new standards. I think that is an extremely important goal and is also part of the chapter. I also think that this particular goal is not adequately covered by AG001. AG001 addresses interoperability which does not necessarily apply to missing functionality. We should add another goal to identify missing functionality in the web services architecture as part of this architecture. _______________________________________________ Waqar Sadiq EDS EIT EASI - Enterprise Consultant MS: H3-4C-22 5400 Legacy Drive Plano, Texas 75024 phone: +01-972-797-8408 (8-837) e-mail: waqar.sadiq@eds.com fax: +01-972-605-4071 _______________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Austin, Daniel [mailto:Austin.D@ic.grainger.com] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 11:02 AM To: www-ws-arch@w3.org Cc: Carroll, Tom Subject: Strawman list of goals for WSAWG Gentlebeings, By way of clarifying the existing issues list, I've tried below to create a list of overall goals and number them. Basically this is the same list as I wrote earlier, but I've tried to be more concise with the language and break compound statements down into individual parts. (There are couple of additions.) As before, this list is my own proposal and is subject to revision according to the sense of the group. Proposed Goals for the Web Services Architecture Working Group To develop a standard reference architecture for web services that: AG001 ensures the interoperability of web services software products from different implementors based on well-defined standards AG002 provides modularity of web services components, allowing for a level of granularity sufficient to meet business goals AG003 is sufficiently extensible to allow for future evolution of technology and of business goals AG004 ensures platform independence of web services components in a way that does not preclude any programming model nor assume any particular mode of communication between the individual components AG005 provides simplicity and ease-of-use that does not impose high barriers to entry for users of web services AG006 addresses the security of web services across distributed domains and platforms AG007 is reliable, and stable, and whose evolution is predictable over time AG008 is coherent and consistent in its definition AG009 is aligned with the semantic web initiative at W3C and the overall existing web architecture AG010 uses XML technologies in the development of the web services architecture to the extent that this is compatible with the overall goals of the group AG011 is consistent with the existing web and its heterogenous environment and distributed architecture to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the Working Group will also act to: AG012 evangelize and promote the benefits of web services to potential users, both consumers and producers AG013 co-ordinate the development of web services within W3C, together with other W3C Working Groups where there is overlap among their problem domains AG014 serve as liaison with groups outside W3C who are working on web services in order to achive interoperability and reduce duplication of effort Comments, corrections, feedback, and flames to the mailing list please! :) Regards, D- *********************************************************************** Dr. Daniel Austin, Sr. Technical Architect austin.d@ic.grainger.com (847) 793 5044 Visit: http://www.grainger.com "The will is expressed through the hands."
