[ebxml-dev] Differences between ebXML Registry 1.0 and 2.0

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM>]

The following is a list of major differences between 1.0 and 2.0 of
ebXML Registry specifications. Note that 2.0 is not backward compatible
with 1.0. In future backward compatibility will be an important goal.

(The following list is likely to have some things missing. If anyone
finds something please post)

-Filter query syntax/semantics has been simplified

-Extramural association: Defines semantic of creating associations
between two objects where one or both objects are not owned by the party
that is creating the association.

-RIM changes: Simplifications to make RIM metadata be more lighter
weight

-UpdateObjectsRequest: Separates update requests from submit requests

-I18N changes: Now allows same attribute to have multiple locale and
character set specific values.

-External Classification support: Allow a classification to be defined
when the taxonomy resides outside the registry

-ClassificationScheme: Added a new infomodel class to represent a
taxonomy

-SOAP interface (RAWS): Added normative SOAP binding (in WSDL form) to
the abstract interface for the registry

-Registration of Web Services (ROWS): Added ability to publish/discover
Web Services, their service bindings and their specifications

-Security enhancements to clarify use of XML Digital signatures in
registry Requests and Responses.
