[OAI-implementers] OAI and Soap

[Hussein Suleman]

hi

i did some tests a long time ago and the basics seem to be fairly 
straight-forward.

the fine-print could be another matter however ... so i have a group of 
students doing an in-depth study of SOAP applied to the OAI-PMH, 
including a draft spec rewrite, baseline tools and implementations, 
testing tools, an end-to-end SOAP-OAI-based system, performance 
evaluations and comparisons, etc.

their final report will be completed by the beginning of october and 
will be submitted to the OAI as a feasability study - this will 
hopefully serve as the basis for a new working group to develop a formal 
SOAP-OAI spec.

also, we need to be a little cautious - W3C recently upped the new SOAP 
spec to "proposed recommendation". it would be wise to wait until it is 
a "recommendation" before OAI finalises a SOAP spec.

ttfn,
