[ogsa-naming-wg] New Version of WS-Naming

[David Snelling]

[Bicycle crash boiler plate: I will include this boiler plate in my  
mails for a few weeks to apologize for terseness in the rest of the  
mail.  I have a broken finger from the crash on Oct 4th, and typing  
is hard and possible only in short spurts. Sorry, Dave.]

Folks,

Sorry for the delay, but due to the above, I can't spend very long at  
the keyboard in any one session.

What I have done:

1) Taken a copy of the September version of WS Naming and set the  
lock on Gridforge.

2) Updated dates and version numbers.

3) Accepted all existing changes.

4) For tracker 5595 from Andreas:

Item 1: Done.

Item 2: Done.

Item 3: this would make sense if this reverenced profiles were  
external, but since these references are internal to the document, I  
feel this re-structureing is unnecessary. It would certainly be non- 
normative. I have not acted on thi item.

Item 4: This issue has come up before (I thnik in a separate (closed)  
tracker in WS-Naming, but I am off line. In anycase, clinets can be  
expected to discover this through the WSDL of the service supporting  
the resolver or factory portype. Non-normantive text to this effect  
was added.

Due to Item 3, I have left the status as "Pending". The WG will need  
to agree to this negligence on my part.

5) For tracker 3070 from Frank:

Section 4.2 appears to cater for multiple URIs in the EPR. I find it  
dificult to see why a SOAP message should contain more than one. I  
have not changed this section. This is consistent with the usage of  
the Address field as an identifier, since only one wsa:To field isa  
allowed.

The Metadata section of the EPR already allows multiple instances of  
what ever is needed there, so no schema changes were needed.

The exception was in the fault messages, I enabled the schema with  
the ability to include multiple EPRs of both types.

Closure still to be agreed by the WG.

6) For tracker 5586:

As agreed below, I did not change the return value from the function.  
I did however, add the possibility of returning and EPI as part of  
the extended error message on a failed resolve. I believe that this  
ie what we agreed.

The new document has been posted. A quick call should confirm it all.

Things left to do:

1) Schema check - Michel and anyone else who wants to try.

2) Change all the copyright and IP stuff. I suggest we age Greg to do  
it for us before public comment.
