Hi,
Here's my attempt to capture today's discussion centering around adding
a description of the business drivers for developing a choreography spec.
This goes right before Section 1.1 - Inputs
cheers,
jeff
WSDL has proved very useful for describing a single service. Currently
complex natural language describing the obligations of the participants
detailing how to use a service (sequencing, state management, etc.) have to
accompany a WSDL description. The next step is to partially replace these
somewhat imprecise instructions with precise language. This will simplify
the daunting task companies now face when trying to use web services to
integrate their business processes. In a B2B context such a specification
could reduce the cost of integrating with new trading partners and
responding to changes in existing interfaces. In a standards context it
will allow the development of specifications of choreographies in
sufficient detail to enable interoperable implementations.
