Re: [wsbpel-spec-edit] Re: Updated Committee Spec docs and RDDL
Title: OASIS Web Services Business Process Execution Language
(WS-BPEL) 2.0

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the email.

Mary, other OASIS staff and others  ...

 

I would like to confirm that I understand how to deal with URLs:

[1] 

For the following URL: 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/wsbpel-specification-draft.pdf

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/serviceref/ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

we will declare them as generic URLs always point to the latest version
of those documents, right?

[2]

And, we will copy docs previously published in PR01 to the new location

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/wsbpel-specification-draft.pdf

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/serviceref/ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

[3]

I am wondering whether we do the same for PR02 by keep documents for
the version of PR02 also at docs.oasis-open.org. (e.g. "
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR02/...")

[4]

I also noticed in RDDL one of previous version URL are:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

(Note: PR01)

Some are:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CD01/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

(Note: CD01)

I am wondering: 

[a] what CD01 stands for? Comittee Draft?

[b] should they be "PR02" instead, because our last published version
are PR02 (public review 2) before our CS01 (committee specification 1)?
[I hope I got all the terms, right?]

All in all, I guess it is a good idea for OASIS to come up with a clear
formal guidline on how to publish documents at docs.oasis-open.org in
future for TC members to follow.

Thanks!

Alex Yiu

  Mary, Thanks very much. 
  

  

  John and Alex, please review the
rddl
and let us know if you have any questions.  
  

  

  Mary, 
  

  As usual, I have questions for you!
  
  
    
How do we populate the
specification
uri's on the first page for this version and current version?  Do
you do that?    eg: Specification
URIs:

  
  This Version:
  

  http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.html
  
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.doc
  

  
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.pdf
  

  
    
Again on the first page, I'm
not sure
why you chose the link you did for the previous verson - ie, the
version
that went into the second public review that shows changes from the
first
public review:  

  
  http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21574/wsbpel-specification-public_review_draft_2_diff.doc
  
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21575/wsbpel-specification_public_review_draft_2_diff.pdf
   
  

  
The change marks might be
confusing since
they're not the changes versus "This Version"  but as compared
with an older version.  It seems like it would make sense to point
to either the clean second public review version, or a copy of the
second
public review versio with changes marked versus "This Version".
 The latter is available at:   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/22037/wsbpel-specification-draft%20candidate%20CD%20Jan%2025%2007%20diff%20wit%85.pdfand
  http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21993/wsbpel-specification-draft%20candidate%20CD%20Jan%2025%2007%20diff%20with%20public%20review%20%202.doc
  

  
    
How do we figure out what
needs to be
put in the trademark field?  I know we use the names of other
specifications
done at OASIS.   Should they be there.  Howe about those approved
by other org's or just published by companies?  I guess we'd go
according
to the references section to identify them - does that sound right?

  Hi everyone,
  

   
  

    In order to shortcut further delays,
I've taken the liberty (with Diane's okay) to update the specification
with the latest cover page(s) metadata as well as update the RDDL file.
There's one new bit of metadata that was recently approved by the Board
of Directors concerning trademarks. More information can be found here:
  http://www.oasis-open.org/who/trademark.php.
Note that the last paragraph in the status section contains a field for
any additional terms that should be trademarked and will need to be
updated.
  

   
  

  Regards,
  

   
  

  Mary

  Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL)
  
31 January 2007 

  Introduction
  
This document describes version 2.0 of the WS-BPEL namespace. It
also contains a directory of links to related resources using the Resource
Directory Description Language (RDDL) 2.0. 

  Namespace URI Versioning Policy
  
It is the intent of the OASIS WS-BPEL Technical Committee that the
WS-BPEL v2.0 namespace URI will not change arbitrarily with each
subsequent revision of the corresponding WSDL or XML Schema documents
but rather change only when a subsequent revision, published in
conjunction with a Committee Specification, results in non-backwardly
compatible changes from a previously published Committee Specification.

  
Under this policy, the following are examples of backwards
compatible changes that would not result in assignment of a new
namespace URI: 

  
    
addition of new global element, attribute, complexType and
simpleType definitions

    
addition of new operations within a WSDL portType or binding
(along with the corresponding schema, message and part definitions)

    
addition of new elements or attributes in locations covered by
a previously specified wildcard

    
modifications to the pattern facet of a type definition for
which the value-space of the previous definition remains valid or for
which the value-space of the preponderance of instance would remain
valid

    
modifications to the cardinality of elements for which the
value-space of possible instance documents conformant to the previous
revision of the schema would still be valid with regards to the revised
cardinality rule
