Chair: Mike Champion
Scribe: Chris Ferris
<Daniel> Roger, here's the email: firstname.lastname@example.org
<scribe_cbf> mike: reviews good standing
... mike: chairs gave themselves ai in rennes to start enforcing good standing requirements
<Roger> I'm getting a fair amount of static. From the listening above one might suspect Frank or Abbie.
<scribe_cbf> mike: trying to steer discussion
around specific discussion and proposals around text for the
... mike: take a stab at redrafting specific paragraphs
... roger: i liked it too
... roger: wants to know if toronto mtg will really happen
... mike: has had two responses that people cannot go
<scribe_cbf> daveo: there are rules if someone
formally objects to changing the mtg date/location in 6-8 weeks
... mike: suburb where we are going is where the H.S. with the quarantined people are.,..
... mike: is there a strong sense of the group that we should find an alternate venue?
... roger: I would, and soon
... ???: I would
... daveh: would anyone object to an alternate location
... dbooth: same dates?
... mike: y
<scribe_cbf> mike: ibm interested in hosting in
... heather: yes, maybe... need to check if there is a conf room
... chrisf: check on armonk and pallisades too
... daveo: set go/no go date for whether toronto is on or off
... roger: 4 weeks notice tight for me
... mike: understand your concern, what can we do?
<Mark_J> I could attend if the meeting is in Armonk or somewhere else in the NYC metro area
<scribe_cbf> dbooth: proposes we find out from
heather if we can host and make a decision then
... daveh: coordinate with wsd?
... dbooth: absolutely!
... sandeep: ?? mentioned there is another meeting that may conflict
... heather: wsdm tc looking at a possible f2f those dates
... ACTION: Heather and Chris to see if IBM can provide hosting for the f2f in N.C. or N.Y. and report back by Wednesday
... daveo: do we have hosts for follow-on f2f mtgs?
... frank: didn't SAP offer for november?
... katia: could host at CMU...
... ACTION: Katia to look into possibility of hosting at CMU and report back by Wednesday
... mike: review AIs
... mike: action items to editors, pretty sure that they have not been fulfilled
... ACTION 2: Katia to look into possibility of hosting at CMU and report back Wednesday
... ACTION -3
... ACTION 3 Katia to look into possibility of hosting at CMU and report back Wednesday
<mmahan> but does it awk?
<scribe_cbf> ACTION 2 = Katia to look into
possibility of hosting at CMU and report back Wednesday
... mike: sect 1.6, put rest to rest
... mike: make sure we capture stuff from soap and wsdl, need to do better job than we have
... mike: any other action items that need to be recorded?
... mike: have mgt people met recently, where do we stand?
... frank: proposal is already in there
... mike: how could I have missed that:)
... mike: any other TF reports?
... mike: move on to consolidation of the tentative decisions we made at f2f so we can move forward
... mike: lots of drawing on white boards and sharing of ideas
... mike: lead to lots of email after france
... mike: align wsdl conceptual model, service is collection of endpoints, endpoints have bindings, etc.
... mike: distinction seemed to be important between a service and what wsa draft calls a service that is more oriented to real peice of code
... mike: its a real thing
... daniel: in your note, you say you want to align with wsdl
... daniel: is there a conflict?
... mike: several of us who stayed around after the meeting
... mike: we talked about the implementation side
... daniel: seems like both valid views
... mike: right, want to capture that in the document
... frank: what about one endpoint versus several endpoints
... ugo: thinks the change in wsdl1.2 is a good one
... ugo: wsdl:interface is specific context
... ugo: includes a bunch of operations
... frank: does interface include name of service?
... ugo: no, only collection of operations
... frank: not strong enough to have composition
... katia: right
... ugo: old stack had way to express that by service, where you could aggregate different ports of different portTypes
<mitrepauld> targetResource http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/wsdl12/wsdl12.html#Service_resource_attribute
<scribe_cbf> ugo: targetResource as means of
identifying that level of aggregation
... chrisf: wsdl:interface supports inheritance
... frank: to use citibank service to access my bank account, need name of service as well as type and operation
... chrisf: service has endpoints which is a binding of an interface and a wsdl:binding to an address... the service has qname identifier
... mike: @resource is way to identify the thing behind it
... ugo: in some cases, there is nothing behind
<mitrepauld> cf: what do you mean by a composite service?
<scribe_cbf> chrisf: what is a composite
... frank: pub/sub service, amazon
... mike: do you mean wsdl 1.2 service?
... frank: there are various ways of accessing, that is supported in wsdl1.2
... daveh: collecting series of capabilities related to same resource
... ugo: the collection of wsdl1.2 services in 1.1 was pretty arbitrary
... katia: yes
... ugo: if we want to use @resource to reproduce that old aggregation, we need to be able to deal with arbitrary aggregation
... mike: to equate one collection of endpoints with another as you could in wsdl 1.1
... ugo: does not map to what you said in your note
... ugo: buyer and seller are two services, want to create aggregation of those
... ugo: ...
<mitrepauld> cf: has different understanding of targetResource, load balancing to same resource accessed from different endpoints
<scribe_cbf> daveo: wants queue management
... daveh: regrets he has to leave (just when it gets interesting:)
... daveo: agrees with chris... wanted a serviceCollection, thought that would be sufficient... but really compelling use cases came up
... daveo: two services cannot share same namespace qname, thats why we need @resource
... frank: no compelling reason to say not to have @resource
<mitrepauld> do: targetResource separate from serviceCollection; need both
<scribe_cbf> frank: not for every service
... frank: can have any arbitrary set of properties associated with a service
... frank: a qname does not identify the printer or the cat
... daveO; not what wsdl group thinks
... frank: there are services that operate on an arbitray number of services
... frank: not clear what underlying resource is being operated on
... frank: have to have identifer for service
... daveo: wsdwg has proposed scheme for identifying abstract components
... chrisf comments on IRC like schema NUNs
... mike: ugo?
... ugo: looks like there are two interpretations of @resource
... ugo: in general case, the two cannot be identical
<mitrepauld> frank: same targetResource may be used in separate WSDL files.
<scribe_cbf> mike: didn't understand that when I
... mike: does their concept of @resource have any ... is it something that the trunk of a web service needs to know about that the tail does not?
... daveo: pushback that frank gives is interesting
... daveo: what are scenarios that this would be useful for
... daveo: printer example
... daveo: printer is a thing, can talk about printer, could have two services that operate on it
... daveo: much more complicated things like bank account, gets weirder
... daveo: might run into problems
... daveo: elaboration of use cases, needs to be presented to wsd wg
... dbooth: concerned about assertion that @resource identifies the thing behind
<mitrepauld> do: service that operates on a collection of printers; (abstract) resource is the collection
<scribe_cbf> dbooth: printer use case compelling,
and it makes sense
... dbooth: but unless the wsdl group specifies that's what that defines
... dbooth: defines a relationship between this and something else
<mitrepauld> cf: confusion is around use of term "resource", need to qualify
<mchampion> Chris: The confusion here is aorund use of "resourece" == needs to be more qualified. It's the logical thing that offers the service, not identity of specific thing being serviced
<mitrepauld> cf: resource is the logical thing that
offers the service; not same as bank account accessed through
online banking service
... cf: atm same service deployed all over the world; logically the same "service"
<mchampion> chris: ATM offers same "service" to bank, services deployed all over world, but logically it's the same service
<mchampion> chris: Resource is not the address but the identifier of what is behind the service
<scribe_cbf> frank: atm/bank account example is a
different transport to my bank account
... frank: there is a service around my bankaccount, not always the case that there's one resource behind that that I can tie all the ways of accessing my bank account
... frank: give a service a name and be done with it
... mike: concluding that what I have drafted needs to be reworked
... mike: target resource is a relationship
... mike: likes daveo's suggestion to put together scenarios
<mitrepauld> need way to describe resource relationships. all resources are abstract things. service=uri1, thingBehind=uri2, relationship=uri3 (with semantics)
<scribe_cbf> frank: needs to be something that ties
the interface, the sets of endpoints and a deployed instances of
... frank: wsdl document is description of the service
... daveo: don't want to get into discussion that the endpoint doesn't exist because there is no wsdl
... frank: need to identify the service
... daveo: wsd totally thinks that this is important
<mitrepauld> do: need uri to uniquely identify the service
<scribe_cbf> hao: i agree that we need uri to identify the service
<mitrepauld> cf: can have separate wsdl files, different services, but same thing behind it
<scribe_cbf> mike: n concepts, not sure if it is 2
3 or more, that all have identity
... roger: thinks that something frank said is wrong
... roger: can you hear me now?
... roger: need uris to access the service
<mitrepauld> hugo's diagram from f2f: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/3/05/wsa.png
<scribe_cbf> roger: why should I have to
... daveo: that's why they made it optional
... daveo: confused about whether we are talking about @resource or service
... daveo: service has required @name (NCNAME)
... has optional @resource (anyURI)
<mitrepauld> do: namespace name + name attribute + algorithm to combine into URI
<scribe_cbf> service is identified by targetNamespace:@name
<Daniel> Daniel Austin has to leave a few minutes early - take care until next week, all
<mitrepauld> pauld has to drop off now. bye.
<scribe_cbf> roger: agrees with people who say
whether it exists whether there is a wsdl file or not
... roger: endpoint url is what you need
... frank: reason you need a name for the service is that uou can have more than one endoint for a service
... mike: would be nice to have someone own this corner of the document
... frank: we may be pushing back on wsd wg on some of these issues
... frank: not sure we understand the wsd proposal yet
... mike: there are things that wsa cares about that wsd may not
... mike: seeks use cases and suggestions
<Roger> We are certainly pushing back on the term "resource".
<scribe_cbf> daveo: think we may be duplicating efforts here
<mchampion> chris: we need to identify what needs
to be identified
... chris: one is clearly wsld:service, but we need to identify other things, like deployed service, and sort out which have which URIs
... chris: we may need to be able to identify SPECIFIC deployed services, having scenarios would help
<scribe_cbf> daveo: thinks that the discussion we
have just been having, is much like the discussions wsd has had
... dbooth: refering to @resource as refering to the identity of the larger service
... dbooth: perhaps a red herring
... dbooth: is indicating a relationship, may be multiple wsdl services
... dbooth: canonical example is printer
... dbooth: may be abstract printer that is implented by multiple printers
... dbooth: might not be a single thing, migt be another related by a different relationship
... dbooth: misleading as representing identity, but indicates a relationship
<mchampion> chris: sometimes we have a service with
one thing behind it, sometimes a service has multiple things behind
... Sometimes you have different aspects of one thing
<scribe_cbf> roger: can you hear me now? :)
... roger: this confuses me
... roger: something needs an identifier if someones going to use the identifier
... roger: seems to me that there are use cases that bind together the differnt interfaces that bind together the same thingy
... katia: seems to me that there are different levels of the things tha this refers to
... katia: the utility of an identifier for an abstraction also woul dbe related to differentiating this service from another
... katia: think about differentiating for discovery
... katia: comparison at more abstract level
... mike: at abstract view, all these differences matter
... mike: lets develop use cases and discuss what needs to be identified in which scenarios
... frank, katia, chris, others: very productive
... daveo: agrees but wishes we were making progress on the document
