Arthur's statement regarding the importance of discovery in the Grid applications we are looking at. A single "type" of a service, as manifested by an explicit association between a wsdl:interface and a wsdl:service would make searching within registries (UDDI or otherwise) easier. As it stands now, some of the service interfaces we have been building have to return a list of interfaces supported. Reducing this to a singleton, ie THE interface implemented by the service, simplifies a couple of aspects of the OGSI programming model. sgg ++++++++ Steve Graham sggraham@us.ibm.com (919)254-0615 (T/L 444) Emerging Technologies ++++++++ "Arthur Ryman" <ryman@ca.ibm.com To: "Jonathan Marsh" <jmarsh@microsoft.com> > cc: www-ws-desc@w3.org, www-ws-desc-request@w3.org Sent by: Subject: Re: Minutes, 1 May 2003 WS Description WG telcon www-ws-desc-reque st@w3.org 05/05/2003 09:38 AM Some amendments to the minutes: 1. I wasn't the one who said this: ... IBM\Arthur notes that some aspects of Schema are not well understood and thus not implemented. It's probably true but I don't recall who said that. 2. I mentioned a third benefit to the proposal for a service to implement a single interface: Searching for a service that implements a given interface, e.g. in UDDI, becomes simpler if the service has an interface explicitly associated with it. I believe this is important for GRID. Arthur Ryman
