Please forgive the possibly naive question below - I haven't been closely following the progress of the WS-RF specs... On Mar 8, 2005, at 7:07 PM, Ian Foster wrote:
... OGSA WG has identified a few basic patterns that seem to arise frequently in distributed system management, at least, and apparently elsewhere too, and has proposed to use some conventional encodings of those patterns. E.g., it has proposed to use:
a) EPRs as names for things ...
The W3C have proposed, and resolved, to "Remove Reference Properties from the [WS-Addressing] specification, and remove all references to the use of EPRs as identifiers". See: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/wd-issues/#i001 Does that mean that point a) should read "URIs as names for things"? Or are the EPRs mentioned here not related to WS-Addressing? I'd be grateful for any clarification. Thanks, Jon MacLaren.
