Reported by John Veizades/Apple
Minutes of the Service Location Protocol Working Group (SVRLOC)
The Service Location Working Group met to discuss the latest proposal on
service location by Scott Kaplan. The document was discussed and
comments were made relating to:
o Scalablity - This proposal has to work from the dentist office case
to some upward bound. How is that upward bound found and how does
the protocol make the transition at this boundary case? This is
particularly of issue with the initial dictionary query.
o Security - How does the protocol pass around security information
for authorization control.
o Multilingual - The protocol can be designed to support a variety of
languages in one administrative domain by the use of a translation
service. The issue of data encoding came up and ASCII english will
be used for transmission of character information used in text
matching and the translation service will handle multilingual
issues. This should be addressed in the next draft of the
document.
The Group thought that the proposal was in general on the right track.
John Veizades and Scott Kaplan will continue to evolve the proposal with
intent to have an Internet Draft by the beginning of next year.
Bill Nowiciki presented work on RAP by Legato. Interesting insights
observed are that protocols like this provide one user interface to
services per platform solving the cross product problem of services to
platforms.
Scott Kaplan is now the Co-Chair of this Working Group taking over from
Leo. There will be a new Charter coming out shortly reflecting this and
an accurate schedule for the Working Group.
