[dmis-bof] Comments on the charter?

[Michel Drescher]

Hi Bill,

for a quick kick-off, this charter is certainly fuzzy enough. ;-)

Seriously, what I currently envision with DMIS is that this group  
will define a web service that provides means to negotiate acceptable  
protocols and protocol dependent parameters to invoke (or let  
invoke?) one of the negotiated protocols to actually get the file (or  
data in the end) moved from its source to its destination.

Does this sort of match what you have in mind? Moreover, if it  
matches my thoughts, how does it relate to, say, WS-Agreement?

Anyway, I attached two slides to visualise some use cases and  
possible roles and actions involved. Note that I did not include any  
WS-* aware element as I consider these present at all three role takers.

Cheers,
Michel
