WS-Policy Submission Acknowledged by W3C

Thursday 27 April 2006 - posted by Pablo Bussi

The authors believe that the W3C should consider WS-Policy as the basis for work to develop a W3C Recommendation (standard).

The Worldwide Web Consortium has acknowledged the submission of the WS-Policy specifications.

"

The WS-Policy specifications include the WS-Policy Framework and WS-Policy Attachment. The Web Services Policy Framework provides a general purpose model and corresponding syntax to describe the policies of a Web Service. It also defines a base set of constructs that can be used and extended by other Web services specifications to describe a broad range of service requirements and capabilities. The Web Services Policy Attachment (WS-PolicyAttachment) defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating such policies with the subjects to which they apply. This specification also defines how these general-purpose mechanisms may be used to associate WS-Policy with WSDL and UDDI descriptions.

"

The authors (Adobe Systems Incorporated, CA, Ericsson, IONA Technologies, Layer 7 Technologies, Nokia, Oracle Corp., Ricoh Corp., Systinet Corp. (a Mercury division), Sun Microsystems, Inc., TIBCO Software, Inc., webMethods Inc., and WS02) believe that the W3C should consider WS-Policy as the basis for work to develop a W3C Recommendation (standard).

The 18 submitting companies are also proposing the creation of a working group to standardize WS-Policy.

The W3C public acknowledgement will be located at: http://www.w3.org/Submission/2006/06/
