New OGF document published in the Recommendation track:

GFD-R-P.109

Title: WS-Naming Specification

Authors/editors: A. Grimshaw, D. Snelling

Abstract: Past experience has led developers to the conclusion that
successful distributed systems must provide robust forms of naming.
Naming is the mechanism by which the concept of identity is maintained
and gives endpoints in the system the ability to talk about other
endpoints in a high- level, abstract way.  Further, naming and dynamic
name resolution are the means by which some of the classic distributed
systems transparencies, such as location transparency and fault
transparency, are achieved.
 
This document follows the recommendations of "OGSA Profile Definition
Version 1.0" [GFD.59] and describes an extension to the WS-Addressing
[WS-Addressing] specification to include extensibility elements for
abstract names and for resolvers, as well as port types for the WS-
Naming resolution services.
