Summary of Aug 9 meeting:  

New committee draft approved.  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/document.php?document_id=19510

The XSDs posted by Alex yesterday will
be updated to ensure all five include blockDefault=”#all” (per today’s
vote).  Alex will post an update including these changes.   Please
plan to review the updated XSDs in advance of next week’s conf call.  (Note:
the only change I would expect to see in the updated XSDs is the addition
of blockDefault=”#all”.)    

The current version of the XSDs are
available here:  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/document.php?document_id=19622
 

Alex has already posted some draft spec
text to help clarify the relationship of the XSDs to the spec.  The
intent of the draft text is to clarify which resource is authoritative.
  While we seem to be in agreement that it should be the spec, the
spec currently contains a copy of the XSD.  Monica suggested removing
the XSD from the spec and simply including a pointer to it.   Please
provide some feedback on both of these topics so we can get to closure
on next week’s call.

We did not discuss Issue 289 because
it is tightly coupled to the XSD (which was not ready for discussion, given
the time it was posted).   We will come to closure on Issue 289 next
week once everyone has reviewed the updated XSDs.    

We will also plan to lock down the dates
of the F2F next week, giving Mike a chance to send out RSVPs.

Discuss and approve of XSD.  Note

Discuss proposed new action item (from
Thomas Schulze):  While reviewing the schemas I've observed that AI
50 have been applied incorrectly. According to the current spec, section
5.2 basic structure of the language, <import> must occur before <extensions>.
IMHO the intention of AI 50 was to only adapt the text in section 5.4,
paragraph 3 saying "...  Any number of <import> elements
may appear as initial children of the <process> element, before any
other child element. ...". The intention was not to change the ordering
(this would be a normative change).  If nobody objects I'll open another
AI to undo this change and to apply the

intended resolution of AI 50.

- Issue discussion:  

Remaining open issues:

- Schedule for public review, next f2f,
final approval as Oasis   

- Mary McRae, OASIS TC administrator
will discuss any questions we have on the approval process.   

- Agenda for next meeting 

- New business
