Hi again, I'm a bit surprised that everybody seems to be forgetting something quite important, which I pointed out in the OGSA-WG face-to-face. Long ago, we had a long discussion on the OGSA-WG about which standards we should adopt, and we decided that we should only adopt standards that are (1) being worked on in a public and open standards body, where we can give feedback if needed, (2) with clear IP rules. Notice that (1) is a lot stronger that it seems. Just throwing a spec at a standards body does not give it legitimacy for use in OGSA, because there is no guarantee that it will be worked on as submitted. Example: IBM-CA-Talking Blocks' WS-Manageability, and HP's WSMF, which were submitted to WSDM (WSDM was inspired in both, but wasn't either). That the spec is being discussed in some sort of a "standards body" does not matter if it is not public and open. Apart from vanilla WS-I, the only thing that we have is WSRF and WSDM. Regards, Fred Maciel.
