Interoperability
How should pub/sub standardization efforts proceed?
Guiding exemplary questions:
What parts of the system should be subjected to standardization?
- Data formats (is XML the answer?), APIs, programming models?
- Can we connect Siena via Hermes and Rebecca to Elvin, Padres and ToPSS and others?
- For a start:
- [http://www.amqp.org Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) specifications] ([http://www.amqp.org/tikiwiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=7 Version 0-9])
- [http://www.elvin.org/specs/index.html Elvin IETF Draft Specifications] at http://www.elvin.org
What should not be standardized?
- What concepts are most in flux, application dependent, etc.
