RE: Review of thoughts on Ad Hoc Queries

I am considered about interoperability between distributed registries here.
a canonical form enables distributed registries, whereas I could get back
an
ebXMLError stating "Query Syntax not support" from one registry instance,
whereas a successful result from another.  I ultimately would like to
publish a query to n registry instances and get n successful results back
NOT n-e where e is the number of error messages.

He he - I'd love to never get error messages too!

We will need vendor interoperability testing to get us to this point
ultimately - however you approach this.  (So you think Oracles,
Microsofts, Suns and WebMethods OQl implementations will
all be identical??!).

I like the idea of having extensible query systems - so that we can
right out the box have built-in future proofing.

Also - notice from the Tokyo PoC  - Farrukh did work hard on the
TRP profile stuff - so you can query that ahead of time to see
exactly what queries any given registry can do!

Hey - one way to eliminate N - E is to make sure N will work
before you ask it!!
