Thursday 16 March 2006

W3C members submitted the WS-Eventing, WS-Transfer and WS-Enumeration specifications.

Today the W3C acknowledged and published the Member Submissions of the WS-Eventing, WS-Transfer and WS-Enumeration specifications, along with a big list of co-submitters.

 

WS-Transfer

The Web Services Transfer Submission was received from BEA Systems, Computer Associates, Microsoft, Sonic Software, and Systinet, A Mercury Division.

WS-Transfer is a SOAP-based protocol for manipulating resources and their representations. One can create, modify, delete resources, as well as retrieve representations of those resources.

This protocol is built using the SOAP messaging framework, both version 1.1 which is a W3C Member Submission and version 1.2 which is a W3C Recommendation, and the WS-Addressing Member Submission.

 

WS-Eventing

The Web Services Eventing Submission was received from BEA Systems, Computer Associates, IBM, Microsoft, and Tibco Software.

WS-Eventing is a SOAP-based protocol to subscribe to notifications. The subscriber receives event messages from an event source, and can manage its subscription with a subscription manager.

This protocol is built using the SOAP messaging framework, both version 1.1 which is a W3C Member Submission and version 1.2 which is a W3C Recommendation.

 

WS-Enumeration

The Web Services Enumeration Submission was received from BEA Systems, Computer Associates, Microsoft, Sonic Software, and Systinet, A Mercury Division.

WS-Enumeration is a SOAP-based protocol for "XML elements that is suitable for traversing logs, message queues, or other linear information models."
