Fred, Sun is a player in the web services arena. Here is some background. Sun to Rave About Ease of Use at JavaOne. Dev Tool, Community Portal Designed to Broaden Java's Appeal. Robert McMillan, InfoWorld Sun's new developer tool, code-named Project Rave, will be demonstrated at Sun's JavaOne Conference in San Francisco next week. It will incorporate the JavaServer Faces Web APIs as well as a number of Java Web services and database connectivity technologies, all with the aim of making Java Web services development easier to do. Sun will also go live with a new open source developer portal called Java.net. http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/06/06/HNjavaone_1.html Regards, David Frenkel Business Development GEFEG USA Global Leader in Ecommerce Tools www.gefeg.com 612-237-1966 -----Original Message----- From: Fred Hapgood [mailto:hapgood@p...] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 1:20 PM To: xml-dev@l... Subject: standardization: bumps in the road Greetings: I write articles on science and technology for various magazines and have an independent interest in standardization processes. Recently the editors of CIO magazine asked if I would look into the standardization of XML-based web services -- a matter of some interest to their constituency. Anyway, as nearly as I can figure out from a tour of the web, as of June 2003 there are two formal net services standardization bodies -- bodies explicitly charged with the standardization mission -- (W3C and Oasis) and two that as a practical matter have as much clout as anyone (IBM & MS). That makes four. Four is not an unprecedentedly large number for an IT domain, but it is of course not the ideal state, which is one. So one question is: Are we getting there? Are we moving in the right direction, away from it, or are we stuck dead in the water? If the latter, what can get the sector moving again? To put the point more generally, what policy issues does the history of the standardization of xml-based web services speak to, illustrate, or exemplify?? Opinions solicited.
