Fw: Comments on RMD wd-09

[Ian Robinson <ian_robinson@uk.ibm.com>]

As noted on the call, my #3 is a little wrong.
The actual resolution text was:
d) Make the EPR point at a new "DefinitionsRP" element that contains only
the MDD of interest and carries a targetnamespace attribute - that is, it's
the same as the Definitions except that it has a "maxOccurs=1" for the
child MDD elements.

So 10.2 needs to constrain the content of a metadata resource RPDoc to
having a Definitions/Metadata element with "maxOccurs=1".


Tim's point on the call was that the example of the OperatingSystem
portType on line 395 the text
"Lines (68)-(74) contains the Property element describing the
id:ResourceType resource property from the Identification portType. Lines
(69)-(73) contain an additional set of ValidValues that the id:ResourceType
resource property may contain. "
is misleading and should not talk about "additional set" of resource props.

Bryan also observed that line 921 says "specializes the MetadataDescriptor"
which is a hangover from when we had a more complex aggregation design.
Bryan also oberved the References to other WSRF specs need to be updated.

Ian

Dan,
I have some comments on wd-09:


#1
Lines 1131:
Comment contains an attribute:

   metadataDescriptorLocation=”list of xsd:anyUri”?


This attribute should be removed from the comment since the
MetadataDescriptor element has no such attribute


#2


Line 1155:

            <xsd:attribute name="wsdlLocation"
                           type="wsrmd:PairsOfURIType" />

The definition of the type wsrmd:PairsOfURIType has been removed and needs
to be put back.

#3
Section 10.2 needs to be more specific about the following:
"The metadata WS-Resource MUST support the
wsrf-rpw:GetResourcePropertiesDocument message exchange and MUST respond to
such a request by returning the MetadataDescriptor document that describes
the target WS-Resource."

Specifically, per the resolution, the text needs to make it clear that the
resource property document returned should be have a root  Definitions
element (since a standard MDD may have several <Definitions> elements and
the RPDoc needs to describe precisely one.



#4
Could you also upload standalone versions of the WSDL and XSD to Kavi?

Ian
