[infod-wg] Minutes from 16 June conference call

[Cecile Madsen]

Attendees: Shailendra, Chris, Dieter, Steve, Stephen, Susan, Vijay, Arjun,
Susan, Cecile
Apologies: Abdeslem

Minutes:

We reviewed John's summary/understanding of INFOD specs:

His review is an accurate summary of INFOD specs; his assumptions are
correct and his comments summarize earlier comments we've had
on the specs (uniqueness of disseminator, unclear how registry knows
whom to notify, simplifying the interface section by concentrating on
artifact
descriptions, not duplicating operations, etc.)

Discussion on need for subscriber entity; resolution is to describe a
scenario that pinpoints that need, namely attaching vocabulary to
subscriber so that consumers can filter on such information.

Discussion on weight of subscription; John/the specs don't position
it as the first class artifact that it is. Need to work more on this.
Subscriptions have evolved historically (subject-based, content-based,
state, etc.) and INFOD should position its subscription on top of the
chain...
it can also drive publications...
