[acs-wg] OASIS SDD TC Formal requirements

[Thomas Studwell]

Dear ACS WG members,
attached you will find a link to a document that has been approved by the
OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor Technical Committee as the formal
requirements for the SDD specification.  This document is a result of
compilation of over 200 use cases brought by TC members including
representatives from your workgroup.  We appreciate your input and we
believe that we have captured the requirements needed to meet your use
cases.  Please take a look at the requirements and provide feedback through
your representative, Keisuke Fukui.

In addition to these requirements, in our recent face to face meeting the
SDD TC voted to work with representatives of the ACS WG to try to converge
ACS's AAD with relevant portions of the SDD. Work has already begun in this
area and we look forward to agreeing on a converged mapping of key elements
necessary in both sets of specifications.

We understand that you are nearing approval of your V1.0 specification and
any changes would most likely be reflected in later versions of the ACS
specification but we believe this convergence is important to industry
acceptance of both specifications and look forward to working with your
representatives on this matter.
