[alf-dev] ALF SCM Vocabulary compared to WebDAV Versioning Extensions

["Everitt, Glenn" <Glenn.Everitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The document Versioning Extensions to WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) I found here http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3253.txt

has a section of Term definitions which is very close to what has been proposed which seems very good.  It also looks like WebDAV has already been implemented by some SCM products. I don’t know how complete these implementations are but again, this seems like good news.

But I have a couple of other questions related to this:

1.    Why doesn’t JSR 147 doesn’t reference the document above it seems like they address identical areas. 

2.    Is it possible for an ALF managed BPEL script to be written using existing WebDAV support already in SCM products?

3.    If 2 above is true then should we base our vocabulary as directly as possible on the existing WebDAV standard?

I know nothing about WebDAV and only know about SCM systems from a user perspective so these are probably naïve questions.  However, I am curious.

 

Thanks for any information
