A comment on the minutes... "* Naming Policy discussion Tom sent out the naming policy proposal to the list before the call. Briefly it states that OGSA fellow WG specifications must return EPRs. The EPRs may be decorated with more information but there should be no normative statement in the specifications that that information must be present. One technical issue is the level of coordination required for mandating WS-Names. The main point being the difficulty of quaranteeing uniqueness-in-space-and-time. For the uniqueness statement to be true an algorithm to create a unique string must be specified and everyone must agree to use it, which introduces a new set of problems." Is this technical issue not addressed by IETF RFC 4122, "A Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN Namespace"? http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt cheers Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Mc Keown RSS Mark.McKeown@man.ac.uk Manchester Computing +44 161 275 0601 University of Manchester ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mon, 14 Nov 2005, Andreas Savva wrote:
