[ogsa-wg] Teleconference minutes - 9 November 2005

[Mark McKeown]

A comment on the minutes...

"* Naming Policy discussion

  Tom sent out the naming policy proposal to the list before the
  call. Briefly it states that OGSA fellow WG specifications must
  return EPRs. The EPRs may be decorated with more information but
  there should be no normative statement in the specifications that
  that information must be present.

  One technical issue is the level of coordination required for
  mandating WS-Names. The main point being the difficulty of
  quaranteeing uniqueness-in-space-and-time. For the uniqueness
  statement to be true an algorithm to create a unique string must be
  specified and everyone must agree to use it, which introduces a new
  set of problems."

Is this technical issue not addressed by IETF RFC 4122,
"A Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN Namespace"?
