[ogsa-wg] FW: Issue #1 proposed resolution

[Tom Maguire]

Steve, I'll jump in here for Steve.  There are a couple of things to
consider.  The GT4 distro is using the March submission specifications for
WSRF and WSN.  These documents are available from http://www.oasis-open.org
in the documents section (labeled march).  Those submission documents
reference an older version of WS-addressing (Only place I could find that
online was at BEA
http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/webservices/ws-addressing.jsp).

On a related note the OGSA Basic Profile 1.0 is currently in progress and
currently references the November 2004 specification from WSRF and the
August submission of WS-Addressing.  The BP work has a way to go...

Imagine I was behind schedule writing the WSDL for something based on WSRF.

Which versions of various specifications should I be using now that are
approximately in sync? Clearly I should not be specific as to how state
is represented in an endpointer, or other details that are highly
unstable.  But what versions of the WSA/WSDL/WSRF specs should be I be
using, and where do they live?
