[INFOD-WG] Abstract

[Fisher, SM (Steve)]

Hi,

 

Our current abstract reads:

 

INFOD (Information Dissemination) provides a general means to determine
which messages are to be sent from which publishers to which consumers
based upon information kept in a registry. To support this, INFOD
specifies interfaces that allow the characterization (in the registry)
of publishers, consumers and various other components using vocabularies
that are meaningful to members of the communities they belong to. 

 

INFOD also extends the publish/subscribe paradigm by allowing consumers
to be determined dynamically based on the message content. Additionally,
INFOD allows subscribers to determine what defines an event and which
messages should be created in response to these events.

 

Notification-based interaction is common and several recent
specifications, including the WS-Notification family of specifications,
address its operation. In particular, WS-Notification offers a basic
topic-based publish/subscribe pattern complemented by a notify
operation. INFOD components make use of this notify operation.

 

 

I propose to shorten the last paragraph and move it to the end of the
first so that it now all reads:

 

INFOD (Information Dissemination) provides a general means to determine
which messages are to be sent from which publishers to which consumers
based upon information kept in a registry. To support this, INFOD
specifies interfaces that allow the characterization (in the registry)
of publishers, consumers and various other components using vocabularies
that are meaningful to members of the communities they belong to. INFOD
makes use of the notify operation defined by the WS-Notification
specification to send information between components.

 

INFOD also extends the publish/subscribe paradigm by allowing consumers
to be determined dynamically based on the message content. Additionally,
INFOD allows subscribers to determine what defines an event and which
messages should be created in response to these events.

 

Is this better or just different??
