[ogsa-wg] Naming requirements document

[Andrew Grimshaw]

All,

Recall that back at the January face-to-face Frank and Dave took an action
to write up their take on the requirements for (low-level) naming. Attached
is their draft. 

 

A few comments of mine based on my read and discussions of the document with
Dave.

 

1)    This is not intended as a replacement for the existing work.

2)    It is requirements - not specifications. Rather, it is a call for
specifications that address the requirements.

3)    Several of the requirements are met by the existing WS-Naming draft
specification, though some are not.

4)    Two of the proposed "specifications", 5.2 and 5.4 are covered by the
existing WS-Name specification. A variant of 5.3 is covered in the WS-Name
spec. The variant specified a technique that could be used to ensure that
identifying information would be sent with the headers  - specifically embed
names in the reference parameters. Personally I fell that 5.3 is a fine
replacement for that if desired. 5.1 is not covered at all, and I must
confess that it seems so obvious that I had implicitly assumed it true. Dave
says it is not - so having a spec that says it must be true seems ok to me.

5)    I think that with a small amount of work on this document and the
WS-Name spec we can make them dovetail quite nicely.

 

 

GGF is a scant two weeks away. I'd like to schedule a teleconference with
the following agenda on Friday April 28th, at 10 AM eastern.  (Dial in
information as soon as I find a dial in number we can use.)  If you plan on
attending, PLEASE read both the existing draft WS-Name spec and this
document before the call.

 

Proposed Agenda:

Max time             Subject

5 minutes            Agenda bashing

30 minutes          Discuss draft requirements document including vis a vis
existing draft WS-Name document

30 minutes          Discuss approval of DRAFT WS-Names document to send to
GFSG for GFSG approval. Note                                  we will
prepare a version that does not include the language that overlaps 5.3.

25 minutes          Attempt to come to closure on working group consensus
regarding WS-Directory, RNS, or 

                             failing that, at least what the issues are.
