Media Type descriptions

Skipped this week

Last Call Issues (agenda item 7)

Propose to move section 8 to start.

Should this be editorial?

<scribe> ACTION: Arthur to move section 8 to front and issue is editorial [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/31-ws-desc-minutes.html#action09]

<Marsh> , due April 7

Arthur to complete by 9:51 MST

Consider schema import statement without schemaLocation, is it valid? Should it be regarded as already seen and in-line

Marsh, this discussed previously and Marsh says wsdl is "good"

Arthur proposes that the documents be OK and that the spec should indicate this

Arthur text proposal read "All inline schemas that are contained in a WSDL document and any other

WSDL documents that it directly or indirectly imports or includes MUST be

used when resolving QName references to elements or types that belong to

namespaces that are imported via xs:import elements that have no

schemaLocation attribute."

Alewis does not know what the term "indirectly" is doing here

Is visibility of schema components being altered?

Arthur distinguishes location knowledge from visibility. Visibility goes with import and rules remain as is

Amy, agrees with the intent of Arthur's proposal. Thinks language not crisp enough

Is making this qname resolution process clear going to be a rathole? Pauld says the Arthur proposal should be make to work

Arthur describes another case in which schemaLocation is known Scribe misses details

<scribe> ACTION: Amy proposes text that Arthur will evaluation. Several test cases to be produced [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/31-ws-desc-minutes.html#action10]

<scribe> ACTION: Arthur produces said test cases [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/31-ws-desc-minutes.html#action11]

Actions 10 and 11 to be done by April 7

Arthur service referenc issue fix-- There is a fix however. The reason that we were able to restrict the

attribute values is that they are unqualified. Therefore, if we changed

our WSDL schema to use elementFormDefault="unqualified", and we ensured

that <endpoint> was a local element, then we could restrict it. However,

for consistency, we should probably also make the other nested elements

unqualified, i.e. just keep the top-level elements (<interface>,

<binding> , <service>, etc.) qualified. We can still have named complex

types for all the elements though.

Amy says the mixing of qualified and unqualified is likely to produce confusion

Marsh says that this mixing is not MS best practice probably

<dorchard> I don't quite get this.... I like qualified.

Roberto say service reference made obsolete by EPR in WSA

Arthur says that other proposals have been proposed historically so a review of this may be in order.

<charlton> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Mar/0103.html

<Arthur> Note that the XML Schema [XML Schema: Structures] type of the element information item service as defined in the WSDL schema MAY be used as the basis for defining new elements which can be used as service references in message exchanges. To enable such reuse, the WSDL schema defines the attribute information item name as optional in the type of the element information item service , while it is REQUIRED for the element information item service as indicated abo

<Arthur> Note:

<Arthur> See the primer [WSDL 2.0 Primer] for more information and examples.

<Arthur> the above is from the Last Call Draft, Part 1, Section 2.13.2

<charlton> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Mar/0109.html

o resolve this issue I propose we update section 3.10.1 to have the

following language:

"Every Binding Message Reference component MAY indicate which transfer

codings, as defined in section 3.6 of [IETF RFC 2616], are available

for this particular message.

The HTTP binding provides a mechanism for indicating a default value at

<Arthur> for Service Reference text see http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-wsdl20-20040803/#Service_XMLRep

the Binding component and Binding Operation levels.

If no value is specified, no claim is being made.

Any transfer coding specified for HTTP 1.0 Binding is ignored."

Call for objections, none made

Lc28 closed in accordance with charlton solution as above

lc69a

<Marsh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Mar/0107.html

<charlton> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2005Mar/0107.html

<charlton> issue is that XForms has a 'knob' for either ';' or '&' as separator

I propose adding the following section as appropriate in the HTTP

binding spec:

The HTTP binding specification adds the following property to the WSDL

component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):

* {http query parameter separator}, a xs:string to the Operation

component.

Hugo asks about previous history on this issue of alignment with Xforms or otherwise

<scribe> ACTION: Hugo will send to list the history and discuss alignment issue [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/31-ws-desc-minutes.html#action12]

<Marsh> , Due April 7

Due April 7

Agenda item 11: waiting on inputs

Agenda item 12: issue lc77a, proposals needed still

Agenda item 13: issue lc75u

wsdl: documentation 2nd class citizen because not in component model

Arthur to do so, mostly harmless

Unlike schema with annotation hook for machine readable stuff, wsdl open content so no semantics for documentation element

Roberto agrees with Arthur that wsdl:documentation has no machine processable content and so is not important enought to call out as a component. Amy agrees also

<Marsh> I also heard a concern that component equivalence should not depend upon documentation.

Amy likens wsdl:documentation to a comment, and notes the complication that it would make functionally equiv wsdls unequal

RESOLUTION: issue 75u closed with no action

Lc83 resolved by prior resolutions. Closed

<scribe> ACTION: lc80 proposal to Arthur by Apr 13 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/31-ws-desc-minutes.html#action13]

Issue lc99 has a proposal for discussion next week
