Fw: [wsrf] WSDM requirements for WSRF

The WS-RF TC heard our request today
and it was granted to add a Any as an AnyOther as a child of the Metadata
element.

So now we just have to sort out operations.

[wsrf] 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
