WS-I Publishes Basic Profile Working Draft

Jan. 1, 2000 12:00 AM

(November 13, 2002) - To encourage feedback, the WS-I Basic Profile Working Group has made its Basic Profile Working Draft public. The WS-I Basic Profile Working Draft can be accessed at www.ws-i.org.

The Basic Profile consists of implementation guidelines recommending how a set of core Web services specifications (SOAP 1.1, WSDL 1.1, UDDI 2.0, XML 1.0, and XML Schema) should be used together to develop interoperable Web services. Web services component technologies within the scope of the Basic Profile include:

Messaging: the exchange of Web service protocol elements, usually over a network
Description: the enumeration of the messages associated with a Web service, along with implementation details
Discovery: metadata that enables the advertisement of a Web service's capabilities
Security: mechanisms that provide integrity, privacy, authentication and authorization

Feedback should be directed to wsbasic_comment@ws-i.org. The group plans to release a final version in early 2003.
