GGF-DMTF Work Register

Hi all, Tom Roney, GGF forum-level liaison to DMTF, ask us to review updated GGF-DMTF Work Register document. OGSA-WG already has dialogue with DMTF folks and I think this document is consistent with our on going activity. Thus I would like to put this item into next Monday call agenda. Thanks, -- Hiro Kishimoto

Folks, On the OGSA-WG telecon 8/1 I took an AI to add a milestone/deliverable to the GGF-DMTF Work Register. Specifically, the milestone reflects the urgent desire of the OGSA-WG to have a normative WSDL for classes expressed in the CIM schema. This milestone builds on the current addition to the work register from OGSA-D; namely the namespace and xml schema for the properties of CIM classes. The addition to the work register being proposed is as follows: The DMTF will define and publicize abstract wsdl:portType for classes in the CIM model (February 2006) Each 'extrinsic' operation on a CIM class will be modeled as a wsdl:operation Properties of the CIM class which are rendered in XML schema (detailed in previous deliverable) will be available through the wsdl:types section It is envisioned that some set of qualifiers will be mapped to xml schema and wsdl constructs. The specifics of this mapping are viewed as explicitly part of the work to render the model. As such GGF has no specific requirements at this time but may have requirements as the work product develops. The intent of this deliverable is to make available a set of standard wsdl:portTypes representing the CIM modeled aspect of classes (extrinsics and properties only). It is envisioned that these portTypes will be mixed in with additional capabilities from Grid disciplines to support Basic Execution Services, Data Virtualization and other areas as they are developed. Note: Abstract wsdl:portType refers to wsdl:portType definitions without bindings. OGSA-WG members please give me your feedback and edits ASAP.

Hi Tom, Thank you very much for your Milestone proposal. I will make no objection about this proposal but have some reservations. Even though CIM is the most promising and widely adopted resource model in the world, OGSA-WG is still discussing our strategic direction of resource modeling. Reasonable work process is something like: (1) Determine the strategic direction including resource model selection (CIM?). (2) List up and prioritize requirements on models. (3) Ask external experts to fulfill each requirement. Since we will make (3) in parallel with (1) and (2), I see two risks; (a) We ask DMTF and they make it on time (Feb. 2006) but we are not ready to utilize them at that time or end up using only small part of their work, or (b) We ask DMTF and they ask us back which is the highest priority item since our request is broad range. But we cannot answer until we sort out (1) and (2). So, I propose not to specify deadline request for this milestone from us. Instead Let DMTF say when they might be ready with this work item. Then OGSA and DMTF discuss priority together. And specific question/comment follows;
The DMTF will define and publicize abstract wsdl:portType for classes inthe CIM model (February 2006)
Do you ask all of CIM classes (there are tons of them) or small number of subset?
Each 'extrinsic' operation on a CIM class will be modeled

(1) Determine the strategic direction including resource model selection (CIM?). (2) List up and prioritize requirements on models. (3) Ask external experts to fulfill each requirement.
Question (1) is moot given that we are talking specifically about the GGF-DMTF Work Register. Question (2) is irrelevant to the additional milestone since both the OGSA-D milestone and the addtional milestone are 'common' mapping requirements which are orthogonal to specific resource modeling requirements (eg. changes/additions/deletions of properties, operations, associations or classes). That being said IMO we should be asking external experts (DMTF in this context) to provide us with these high level constructs.
Since we will make (3) in parallel with (1) and (2), I see two risks;
(a) We ask DMTF and they make it on time (Feb. 2006) but we are not ready to utilize them at that time or end up using only small part of their work, or (b) We ask DMTF and they ask us back which is the highest priority item since our request is broad range. But we cannot answer until we sort out (1) and (2).
On point (a) I suspect anyone using CIM uses only a small part of it so I think that one is ok. On point (b) I would suggest that the OGSA-D milestone is more time critical; so I would prioritize that above this additional work. As I pointed out above this is 'common' mapping work so I do not believe it is tied at all to the resource modeling work.
So, I propose not to specify deadline request for this milestone from us. Instead Let DMTF say when they might be ready with this work item. Then OGSA and DMTF discuss priority together.
I think a milestone without a date will be ignored. Further I am fairly certain that the DMTF TC will request a date.
And specific question/comment follows;

<HK> I don't think so. It is very unlikely but if OGSA-WG chooses i.e. GLUE schema as our resource model, we don't need to put our names on Work Register document. Actually, we are going to work with DMTF but our strategic decision should come before Work Register. </HK>
Question (2) is irrelevant to the additional milestone since both the OGSA-D milestone and the addtional milestone are 'common' mapping requirements which are orthogonal to specific resource modeling requirements (eg. changes/additions/deletions of properties, operations, associations or classes). That being said IMO we should be asking external experts (DMTF in this context) to provide us with these high level constructs.
<HK> I got your point. </HK>
Since we will make (3) in parallel with (1) and (2), I see two risks;
(a) We ask DMTF and they make it on time (Feb. 2006) but we are not ready to utilize them at that time or end up using only small part of their work, or (b) We ask DMTF and they ask us back which is the highest priority item since our request is broad range. But we cannot answer until we sort out (1) and (2).
On point (a) I suspect anyone using CIM uses only a small part of it so I think that one is ok.
<HK> Given you are asking a common mapping to wsdl, it makes sense. </HK>
On point (b) I would suggest that the OGSA-D milestone is more time critical; so I would prioritize that above this additional work. As I pointed out above this is 'common' mapping work so I do not believe it is tied at all to the resource modeling work.
<HK> Agreed. </HK>
So, I propose not to specify deadline request for this milestone from us. Instead Let DMTF say when they might be ready with this work item. Then OGSA and DMTF discuss priority together.
I think a milestone without a date will be ignored. Further I am fairly certain that the DMTF TC will request a date.
<HK> Yes, milestone should have date. I insist DMTF should pick or lead to pick date. It is ok you suggest a date though. </HK>
And specific question/comment follows;
The DMTF will define and publicize abstract wsdl:portType for classes inthe CIM model (February 2006)
Do you ask all of CIM classes (there are tons of them) or small number of subset?
We are asking for a common mapping to wsdl
Each 'extrinsic' operation on a CIM class will be modeled
What is 'extrinsic' operation?
Operations that are expressed in the CIM schema on CIM classes
as a wsdl:operation Properties of the CIM class which are rendered in XML schema (detailed in previous deliverable) will be
What is "previous deliverable"? Is it wsdl:operation (above line) or namespace and XML schema (previous paragraph)?
I was assuming that the OGSA-D XML schema would be logically place above/before this milestone/deliverable
available throughthe wsdl:types section It is envisioned that some set of qualifiers will be mapped to xml schema and wsdl constructs. The specifics of this mapping are viewed as explicitly part of the work to render the model. As such GGF has no specific requirements at this time but may have requirements as the workproduct develops. The intent of this deliverable is to make available a set of standard wsdl:portTypes representing the CIM modeled aspect of classes (extrinsics and properties only). It is envisioned that these portTypes will be mixed in with additional capabilities from Grid disciplines to support Basic Execution Services, Data Virtualization and other areas as they are developed.
p.s. Since WS-CIM call this week is canceled, we have time to think it over.
This is not a discussion for WS-CIM directly. It is a discussion with the DMTF TC and they meet today. Further, any work register requires DMTF board approval and the board meets on 8/11. After that our next board meeting is in September.

You are receiving a copy of the draft because your name appears in the document as having some role in the collaboration. Please review the document and let me hear back from you, either accepting the document in its entirety, or requesting additions, subtractions, or modifications to the document. The final draft will then be presented to the GGF Steering Group and the DMTF Board for their comments and approval.
Your careful consideration is appreciated. If you are aware of a GGF working group not listed but having a role to play in this collaborative effort, please do make this known.

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your Milestone proposal. I will make no objection about this proposal but have some reservations.
Even though CIM is the most promising and widely adopted resource model in the world, OGSA-WG is still discussing our strategic direction of resource modeling. Reasonable work process is something like:
(1) Determine the strategic direction including resource model selection (CIM?). (2) List up and prioritize requirements on models. (3) Ask external experts to fulfill each requirement.
Question (1) is moot given that we are talking specifically about the GGF-DMTF Work Register.
<HK> I don't think so. It is very unlikely but if OGSA-WG chooses i.e. GLUE schema as our resource model, we don't need to put our names on Work Register document.

My point is that we already have a work register in place with DMTF. That work register is being updated to include xml namespace and schema. The question of strategic or not is orthogonal and I do not think we need to serialize behind that decision. The decision of what resource model to use and where it is standardized is going to be discipline specific. So my point is: 1) ANY resource model we use MUST have a normative xml expression 2) ANY resource model we use MUST have a normative wsdl expression For specific, specific disciplines we undoubtedly will use portions of CIM. We (OGSA) will undoubtedly use portions of other resource models (perhaps IETF for networking). All of the models we use MUST meet the normative low bar above 1 & 2. So given that we are likely to use portions of CIM and given that we need normative XML and normative wsdl expressions. I am uncertain what strategic decision needs to be further made that would effect the work register. the

I wasn't aware that resource models were inherently services. They're just a way of describing the terms used in some data relating to the description of a resource, surely? Or do you distinguish between purely passive descriptive models and active manipulable models of a resource? Donal.

Some resource models also model behaviour. I know that some find this incorrect and strange; but from a model driven architecture perspective it makes sense to do that.
Or do you distinguish between purely passive descriptive models and active manipulable models of a resource?
Should have been more precise. 2) should read 2) ANY resource model that expresses operations MUST have a normative wsdl expression
Donal.

Todd, Tom, The OGSA-WG reached a rough consensus on the wording amendment to the GGF-DMTF Work Register (see below) during last nights telecon. Sorry I did not get this to you earlier. The approvals in both GGF and DMTF will proceed in parallel. Obviously, it the GFSG non-concurs we may need to revise (I expect this not to happen). Thanks for your help in this. Todd, Will you get this update into the document and balloted or should I go ahead and do that? (Greg, I think this answers your question from a separate note.) Tom, Hiro will be sending a note to you under a separate cover asking for GFSG approval of the amendment.
