Open Specification Promise
In a recent post, I pointed out that we're nearly done with WS-* v1. Today, Microsoft has announced the Open Specification Promise (OSP) which provides clear and open commitment to enable the broadest possible adoption of WS-* - the suite of web services protocols that we've been working on standardizing with our many partners over the last 5 years. It's astonishing to see the list of WS-* (and related) protocols covered by the OSP:
- WS-Addressing
- WS-AtomicTransaction
- WS-BusinessActivity
- WS-Coordination
- WS-Discovery
- WSDL
- WSDL 1.1 Binding Extension for SOAP 1.2
- WS-Enumeration
- WS-Eventing
- WS-Federation
- WS-Federation Active Requestor Profile
- WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile
- WS-Management
- WS-Management Catalog
- WS-MetadataExchange
- WS-Policy
- WS-PolicyAttachment
- WS-ReliableMessaging
- WS-RM Policy
- Remote Shell Web Services Protocol
- WS-SecureConversation
- WS-Security: Kerberos Binding
- WS-Security: SOAP Message Security
- WS-Security: UsernameToken Profile
- WS-Security: X.509 Certificate Token Profile
- WS-SecurityPolicy
- SOAP
- SOAP 1.1 Binding for MTOM 1.0
- SOAP MTOM / XOP
- SOAP-over-UDP
- WS-Transfer
- WS-Trust
- WS-I Basic Profile
- Web Single Sign-On Interoperability Profile
- Web Single Sign-On Metadata Exchange Protocol
This suite of protocols provide a rich, standards based fabric upon which you can build your next-generation products and technologies and I can't wait to see apps arrive which interoperate freely across systems, technologies and platforms.
Go get started … it all starts here! J
