WSDM requirements for WSRF

Hi, 

The WSDM TC would like to discuss the following requirement for the WS-RMD
specification with WS-RF. 

 WSDM needs an any extension point back in the WS-RMD document. 

    - WSDM needs the ability to add management metadata on non-property
components, for example on relationships, notifications, and of course
operations 

    - We also anticipate that there will be a need to describe
metadata on other kinds of aspects of ws-resources,  like associated
policies or agreements. 

    - We believe that if WS-RMD did not allow extension then
other communities/specs that have metadata requirements will invent thier
own metadata documents and we'll end up with sets of overlapping and disconnected
metadata documents about the same ws-resource.  We do not think that
WSDM should define thier own metadata document format to cover all other
aspects of WS-Resource metadata EXCEPT properties. 

Just as a heads up, WSDM is continuing
to discuss other requirements for WS-RMD may make additional requirements.

We would like to discuss this extension
point requirement at the Monday November 14th WS-RF  meeting.  

Thanks,

Heather Kreger
