RE: D-AG0016 - Technology Gaps

MessageI was wondering how this would come up...

What does it mean for the WG to recommend existing standards?  Would a W3C
Note (which isn't a standard) count?

What if some tweaking of the spec is required for standardization, say
converting soap-sec into ws-sec and changing the namespace name?  Is the WSA
group going to do the nuts and bolts dirty work on re-using existing stuff -
like writing conformance test suites, publication schedules, conversion to
xmlspec dtd etc.?  There's a fair bit of work just doing errata.  I would
think we don't want to burden the WSA with this.

I think that even if we find an existing spec that fits our bill, we're
going to have to charter up a WG to deal with it.

How about "Identify architectural and technology gaps that prevent
interoperability to formulate standards-based remedies;  formation of new
working groups to standardize new or existing specifications or
technologies." ?

Cheers,
Dave

  This is a good point.  In fact, the charter says
  "The Working Group should also identify what existing W3C technologies
already address functions required by the architecture identified."
  I wanted to avoid a discussion over *whose* existing standards and
technologies at this point of high-level requirements
  identification.  Therefore I took the path that in order to identify gaps,
existing technologies would be flushed out during the process.

    This is good point. However I think we should recommend existing
standards wherever available to avoid re-inventing. How about something on
the lines:
    "Identify architectural and technology gaps that prevent
interoperability to formulate standards-based remedies;  recommending
existing standards and technologies where available and formation of new
working groups where none available."

     I've taken an action item to drive DAG0016- Technology Gaps requirement
discussion.
      The current proposed wording is
     "DAG0016
     [The Working Group will also act to] identify current gaps in
architectural interoperability and recommend standards-based remedies".

      As this architecture group is clearly chartered not to design the gap
technologies itself, I would like to suggest changing to"identify
architectural and technology gaps that prevent interoperability; and
recommend formation of new working groups to formulate standards-based
remedies".
