[ogsa-wg] OGSA WSRF Basic Profile 1.0 draft 49 (document revision 46)

[Michel Drescher]

Folks,

after revising the previous draft at FLE, we came up with a solution  
to the WS-BaseNotification issue, that we believe would cause even  
less disruption and re-implementation of existing code.

Please find the new draft revision attached.

Summary:
After careful re-examination of the WS-BaseNotification specification  
family, Vivian found that the text defining the Simple dialect does  
not contain any clear normative text mandating the exact serialisation  
of topic QName when using this dialect (i.e. no "MUST" etc. in the  
text). However, the specification indicates in the XML Schema that the  
authors of the specification may have had an element-based rendering  
in mind. The specification contains an XML *type* definition for the  
Simple dialect. it does not, however, contain the XML *element*  
definition to use for the Simple dialect.
Therefore we argue that it indeed is possible to re-use the WS- 
BaseNotification dialect URI and XML type definition, and to introduce  
an OGSA BP specific XML element of the BaseNotification data type.  
This way, implementers will have to tool up only one new XML element,  
and some application logic to extract the topic QName (should be quite  
trivial regardless the tooling framework).
The attached draft reflects this argument.

Cheers,
Michel
