[regrep] Minutes from telecon April 18th

Minutes of OASIS Registry/Repository Technical Committee 
Teleconference

April 18, 2002

 

Conformance test 
report
Mike Kass of 
NIST hooked up with the IIC last week.  He is developing a test schema 
methodology for messaging, registry, and hopefully eventually CPA.  He is 
gathering test assertions and developing a schema to describe them.  The 
goal is for anyone to be able to come in and create a test case for different 
assertions.  Hopefully it will be used by a wide variety of people.  
Having it in a schema will allow reissue of similar calls.  Len 
Gallagher (NIST) is working on the set of 
assertions (test requirements).  It is a series of submits, updates, 
queries.  It will be put out to the regrep group for comments when it is 
complete.

 

Priority 3 work items

Postponed until more people are on the conference call.

 

Barcelona meeting update

Talk to Kathryn if you are planning to go so that we can coordinate 
activities.

 

cc-review subteam report

  
Storage - how to represent a Core Component, BIE, etc.: 

  
    
·  
    Leaning toward default representation as intrinsic objects 
    (for conformance), with the option of representation as extrinsic objects 
    (non-conformant)

    
·  
    Representation as intrinsic objects would require new classes 
    added to RIM - would need to bring up to TC level 

  
Associations between entities: 

  
    
·  
    If associations are used, we will need to consider the 
    concepts of intramural vs. extramural associations - i.e. what if a user 
    attempts to assemble an ABIE from BIE's that they do not own?  We may 
    simply document this in our analysis results as an issue to be aware of. 
    

  
Metadata: 

  
    
·  
    If intrinsic objects are used, the metadata attributes will 
    need to be "hardwired" into registry; if extrinsic objects are used, the 
    slot mechanism would be used

Question:

  
    
·  
    Farrukh posed the question, "Would it make sense for us 
    to spec a high priority v3 item to get cc an interim answer quickly for user 
    defined type?"  An answer was postponed 
    so that further discussion may take 
place.

Other subteam reports

None
