SOAP 1.2 Last Call [9, 10, 11] call for review [12]. Awaiting text from Glen and/or Sanjiva. I think we missed the boat on this one. [9] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part0/ [10] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/ [11] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part2/ [12] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0001.html Discussion: No formal response prepared for feedback from the group. Resolution: Cancel New Action Item: (None) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. FTF Agenda Review, rearrange and augment first draft of the agenda [13]. Note that the facilities don't accommodate overlapping groups, and we will thus plan to end at noon on Wed. [13] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ws-desc/2002Sep/0004.html (members only) Discussion: JohnM reviewed the current agenda draft for each day. Additional agenda items to be added from conference call discussion if necessary. Currently no plans to have a joint meeting with Architecture Group. Phone access to F2F meeting is being set up however details currently not available. Currently planning capacity for 5 incoming calls. Please ping DBooth if you plan on dialing into the F2F (members only). It was requested that an agenda item for an update from a WSI-Org liaison be added. JeffM agreed to give the update. Briefly discussed possible subject matter to be covered. It was requested that an agenda item be added to discuss REST (what is it, does it impact the group). Noted that the Architecture Group has that on their agenda for the F2F. It was suggested to ask the Architecture Grp to have the REST presentation/discussion on Wed. during F2F and to allowing ws-desc members to attend. Suggested discussing GlenD MEP proposal at the F2F in his absence. Left off F2F agenda for now. Observers to attend the F2F: Erik Ackerman Lexmark Hao He Thomson Paco Curbera IBM Also Architecture Gp members are invited to Wed. PM F2F meeting time. Updated Agenda will be sent out. New Action Item: (None) JohnM to request Architecture GP give REST pres. on Wed. at F2F. Please ping DBooth if you plan on dialing into the F2F (members only). -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. New Issues Philippe points out a couple of public comments on the public comments list [13]. What process do we want to follow (pre-last-call) to respond to these comments and make sure real ones appear on our issues list? [14] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-desc-comments/ Discussion: Public Comments have been/will be addressed by the Editors. Editors will get public email comments directly to expedite turn-around. W3C Last Call procedure requires workgroup response to public feedback. Editorial staff will act as filter for the group for addressing technical comments that require design or discussion(i.e., not editorial). Resolution: (Done) New Action Item: (None) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. SOAP TF Status? Need more meetings? Is [15] the output? Conclusions so far: (1) We need to be able to express MEPs in the SOAP binding. (2) The ability to describe features and MEPs at the abstract level would be a good thing, but right now we don't know how much effort it would take to do so. (3) Feedback to XMLP WG: lack of something (such as a header) to express the MEP in use. (Glen: perhaps we should say that, for each binding, there must be a way to identify unambiguously the MEP in use; of course, for bindings that support just one MEP that's a no-op). (4) Currently, there is no well-defined one-way MEP. [15] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0034.html This topic was deferred last time. Is there anything more we need to do here? Discussion: Discussed current status of the task force. Proposal from GlenD addresses (1). Other three items have been addressed as well. Resolution: Declared Success and SOAP TF closed down. New Action Item: (none) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Proposal: Hoisting SOAP binding attributes [16]. Roberto's amendment at [17]. [16] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0058.html [17] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0105.html Discussion: It was decided that the group should discuss the proposal at F2F. Resolution: PENDING New Action Item: (none) JohnM to add to F2F agenda. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Issue 51: Asymmetry between soap:body and soap:header [18]. Thread starts at [19] (Kevin), continues at [20] and [21]. [18] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/2/06/issues.html#x51 [19] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0048.html [20] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0049.html [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0081.html Discussion: Kevin gave summary of his proposal to address [18]. Concern was raised about how making the <soap:body> and <soap:header> completely symmetric would impact the way these elements are currently used and how they are processed. Resolution: No agreement, Discuss more at F2F. New Action Item: (none) JohnM to add to F2F agenda. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Issue 25: Interaction between W3C XML Schema and SOAP Data Model Gudge's explains at [22], Roberto's options at [23]. [22] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jun/0186.html [23] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0071.html Discussion: MG gave an overview of Issue 25. It was mentioned (JeffM?) that the WSI group was also addressing this issue. The group briefly discussed how WSI is proposing to address the issue, and the fact that it is basically option 3 from [23]. JeffM will keep group informed on WSI's progress and when reviewable doc's are available. Input to the WSI group was invited. Resolution: Leave Open for now and monitor progress in WSI New Action Item: (None) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Issue 5: EncodingStyle Issue 30: soap:body encodingStyle Dietmar's soaptf proposal for encoding and use attributes. [24] Arthur's recommendations. [25, 26] [24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ws-desc/2002Jul/0016.html [25] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jun/0178.html [26] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jun/0178.html Discussion: Arthur gave summary of his recommendations and it was noted that the recommendation addressed only part of the original set of questions/issues from Dietmar's note and that other issues contained in that note may need to be discussed. John M, Dietmar, etc. discussed if the current issues could be closed and if there needed to be other new issues raised as result of Deitmar's note. Resolution: Issue 5 and 30 are resolved per [25] and [26] recommendations. New Action Items: Dietmar to extract remaining questions/issues from [24] references in a new thread to be opened as a new issue. JohnM to add to F2F agenda. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Issue 18: Default for transport of <soap:binding> [27]. Jeffrey's proposal at [28]. [27] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/issues/wsd-issues.html#x18 [28] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0122.html Discussion: Summary of the issues was given and the recommendations. Recollection (from Jeffrey?) was that GlenD may still have concerns about closing Issue 28 without action. The issue of bindings raised in 28 needs a lot of further discussion and the group may need to revisit Issue 18 later if addressing Issue 28 results in a complete binding overhaul. Resolution: Issue 18 to be closed per [28] to make the transport attribute mandatory for the <soap:binding> element. Issue 28 still open and may be discussed at F2F if time permits. New Action Item: (None) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. HTTP Binding Issues (6a, 41) Jeffrey recommends no change [29]. Sanjiva is mulling this over [30]. [29] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jun/0102.html [30] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002Jul/0067.html Discussion: None. Still waiting for input from Sanjiva. Resolution: Pending New Action Item: (None) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call Adjourned Summary of New Action Items: 1. Deitmar to extract remaining questions/issues from [24] and sent out in a new email thread to be opened as a new issue(s). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Scribe: Jerry ThrasherReceived on Thursday, 5 September 2002 16:55:46 GMT
