1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose/Scope

This Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) profile specifies how to use the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) [XML10] defined in ANSI INCITS 442-2010 – Biometric Identity Assurance Services [INCITS-BIAS] to invoke Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) -based services that implement BIAS operations. These SOAP-based services enable an application to invoke biometric identity assurance operations remotely in a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) infrastructure.

Not included in the scope of BIAS is the incorporation of biometric authentication as an integral component of an authentication or security protocol. (However, BIAS services may be leveraged to implement biometric authentication in the future.)

1.2 Overview

In addition to this introduction, this standard includes the following:

· Clause 2 presents the design concepts and architecture for invoking SOAP-based services that implement BIAS operations.

· Clause 3 presents the namespaces necessary to implement this profile, INCITS BIAS data elements, and identifies relationships to external data definitions.

· Clause 4 specifies the content of the BIAS messages.

· Clause 5 presents the BIAS message structure, as well as rules and considerations for its application.

· Clause 6 presents information on error handling.

· Clause 7 specifies conformance requirements.

· Annexes include the OASIS BIAS XML schema/sample Web Service Definition Language (WSDL), BIAS CBEFF Patron Format, use cases, sample code, acknowledgements, and the revision history of this profile.

1.3 Background

In late 2005/early 2006, a gap was identified in the existing biometric standards portfolio with respect to biometric services. The Biometric Identity Assurance Services standard proposal was for a collaborative effort between government and private industry to provide a services-based framework for delivering identity assurance capabilities, allowing for platform and application independence. This standard proposal required the attention of two major technical disciplines: biometrics and service architectures. The expertise of both disciplines was required to ensure the standard was technically sound, market relevant, and achieved widespread adoption. The International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) M1 provided the standards leadership relevant to biometrics, defining the “taxonomy” of biometric operations and data elements. OASIS provided the standards leadership relevant to service architectures with an initial focus on web services, defining the schema and SOAP messaging.

The driving requirements of the BIAS standard proposal were to provide the ability to remotely invoke biometric operations across an SOA infrastructure; to provide business level operations without constraining the application/business logic that implements those operations; to be as generic as possible – technology, framework, & application domain independent; and to provide basic capabilities that can be used to construct higher level, aggregate/composite operations.

1.4 Relationship to Other Standards

This OASIS BIAS profile comprises a companion standard to ANSI INCITS 442-2010 – Biometric Identity Assurance Services, which defines the BIAS requirements and taxonomy, specifying the identity assurance operations and the associated data elements. This OASIS BIAS profile specifies the design concepts and architecture, data model and data dictionary, message structure and rules, and error handling necessary to invoke SOAP-based services that implement BIAS operations.

Together, the BIAS standard and the BIAS profile provide an open framework for deploying and remotely invoking biometric-based identity assurance capabilities that can be readily accessed across an SOA infrastructure.

This relationship allows the leveraging of the biometrics and web services expertise of the two standards development organizations. Existing standards are available in both domains and many of these standards will provide the foundation and underlying capabilities upon which the biometric services depend.

1.5 Terminology

2 Design Concepts and Architecture (non-normative)

2.1 Philosophy

Rather than define a totally new and unique messaging protocol for biometric services, this specification instead defines a method for using existing biometric and Web services standards to exchange biometric data and perform biometric operations.

2.2 Context

Today, biometric systems are being developed which collect, process, store and match biometric data for a variety of purposes. In many cases, data and/or capabilities need to be shared between systems or systems serve a number of different client stakeholders. As architectures move towards services-based frameworks, access to these biometric databases and services is via a Web services front-end. However, lack of standardization in this area has led implementers to develop customized services for each system/application.

BIAS is intended to provide a common, yet flexible, Web services interface that can be used within both closed and open SOA systems. Figure 1, below, depicts the context in which the BIAS messages will be implemented.

Figure 1. BIAS Context

The clients (requesters) may use standard discovery mechanisms (i.e., UDDI directories) to discover the BIAS service provider (implementation) or, particularly in closed systems, the URI/IRI and WSDL for the service provider may be known a priori by the client BIAS application developer.

2.3 Architecture

BIAS Web services are intended to be used within systems employing a services framework, such as a services-oriented architecture (SOA) (although implementations are not limited to this environment). As such, it is recognized that the clients may interact directly with the BIAS service provider or layers may exist between the client and the service provider, for example as an ESB or other application layer.

The BIAS Architecture as shown in Figure 2, in which:

· A Client request to the BIAS Web services may be triggered by a human interaction OR any proxy system such as an ESB.

· Client sends and receives SOAP messages that conform to the BIAS schemas

· Calls to the BIAS Implementation use OASIS Service Interfaces and Bindings (via WSDL)

· The BIAS implementation maps the service call to the appropriate internal API or set of APIs and returns data according to the service interface.

Note that services are represented as circles.

Figure 2. Representative BIAS Architecture

NOTE: It is possible that BIAS may also be used between the service provider and the managed resource (e.g., a biometric matcher).

At the heart of the BIAS SOAP Profile are the concepts of BIAS messages and endpoints.

BIAS implementation

A BIAS implementation is a software entity that is capable of creating, processing, sending, and receiving BIAS messages. This standard does not define requirements for the BIAS implementation other than defining the messages and protocols used by the endpoints.

BIAS messages

A BIAS message is a one that can be sent from a BIAS endpoint to another BIAS endpoint over a TCP/IP link.

BIAS endpoints

A BIAS endpoint is a runtime entity, uniquely identified and accessed by an endpoint URI/IRI [URI] [IRI], capable of sending and receiving BIAS messages.

NOTE: When not publicly and directly exposed, the endpoints for purposes of this specification are the BIAS service provider exposing BIAS services and the component that directly interacts with that service provider, e.g., the business application or ESB, rather than the ultimate end client requester.

3 Data dictionary

This section describes the BIAS data elements used within BIAS messages (as defined in Clause 4). Common data elements are defined for use in one or more operations. These include common data types or return codes. BIAS data elements are defined in ANSI INCITS 442-2010. The elements, complex types and simple types described for the BIAS messages belong to the following namespace: http://docs.oasis-open.org/bias/ns/bias-1.0/. See Annex A for the XML schema.

NOTE: Biographic and biometric data included in a native XML format MAY contain elements referencing external namespaces (e.g., ansi-nist).

3.1 Documentation Conventions

Each common element has a section describing its content. Likewise, each operation has a section describing the request and response messages and the associated input and output parameters. The input and output of each message and the comment elements are detailed in a table as described in the figure below. Each field that forms part of the message request/response is detailed in the table.

Fields Hierarchy Explained:

To denote the field hierarchy the symbol is used to denote the child-of relationship.

ListBiometricDataResponse

The ListBiometricData operation lists the biometric data elements stored for a subject using the Biometric Data List output parameter. Note that no actual biometric data is returned by this operation (see the RetrieveBiometricInformation operation to obtain the biometric data). In the encounter-centric model, an encounter ID MAY be specified to indicate that only the biometric data elements stored for that encounter should be returned. If an encounter ID is not specified and encounter data exists for the subject, the operation returns the list of encounter IDs which contain biometric data using the Encounter List output parameter, and the Biometric Data List output parameter is empty.

An optional parameter MAY be used to indicate a filter on the list of returned data. Such a filter may indicate that only biometric types should be listed (e.g., face, finger, iris, etc.) or that only biometric subtypes for a particular biometric type should be listed (e.g., all fingerprints: left slap, right index, etc.). If a filter is not specified, all biometric type and biometric subtype information are listed (e.g., left index finger, right iris, face frontal, etc.).

4.2.4 GetVerifyResults

GetVerifyResultsRequest

GetVerifyResultsResponse

The GetVerifyResults operation retrieves the verification results for the specified token. This operation is used in conjunction with the Verify operation. If the Verify operation is implemented as an asynchronous service, the implementing system returns a token and the GetVerifyResults operation is used to poll for the results of the original Verify request.

If the service provider implements an asynchronous Verifyoperation, then it MUST also implement the GetVerifyResults operation.

5 Message structure and rules

BIAS operations and data elements are defined in XML in the INCITS 422 BIAS standard. This OASIS standard further specifies the full XML schema (see AnnexA) and specifies how this XML is packaged and exchanged as SOAP messages.

Annex A provides a WSDL of operations and structures aggregated from all the conformance classes, both synchronous and asynchronous. A specific implementation’s WSDL must only expose its respective operations and structures. For example, for a Class 5-only conformant implementation, all of the primitive operations must not be exposed as operations (with the exception of QueryCapabilities) unless that functionality is supported. Additionally, the WSDL exposed by an implementation shall not contain instances of xsd:any, xsd:anyType, or xsd:anyAttribute; these instances must be replaced with explicit schema contents. An example is the XML complex type, InformationType, which has xsd:any as its only child. This type is used to represent implementation-specific input data and return data. The children of InformationType must be replaced with explicit content. Doing so removes the ability to transmit unexpected or arbitrary data. Also, it provides a clear definition of information that a client needs to provide to the server,or expect to receive,to optimally perform an operation.

SOAP 1.1 messages consist of three elements: an envelope, header data, and a message body. BIAS request-response elements MUST be enclosed within the SOAP message body. The general structure of the BIAS SOAP message is shown in Figure 4, below. The data model for BIAS is addressed in Section3 and BIAS messages in Section 4.

Figure 4. BIAS SOAP Structure

Biometric data, regardless of native format, is carried as a binary structure. As such, options exist on how this data is carried within the SOAP structure. It can be carried as embedded Base-64 objects or [XOP] can be used – this standard allows for either method (See section 5.3).

5.1 Purpose and constraints

This document defines a SOAP profile describing how the XML elements defined in INCITS 442 are to be used as the payload of a SOAP message and the rules for structuring and exchanging such messages. Philosophical tenets include:

· SOAP messages will carry BIAS XML [XML 10] payloads.

· SOAP messages will follow WS-I and will deviate only when absolutely necessary.

· Message structures and interchanges will be kept as simple as possible – “nice to have” features will be addressed in future revisions.

· XML schemas will be produced based on INCITS 442.

· BIAS will support a broad range of application domains.

· BIAS will allow for a variety of biometric and biographic data formats to be used

· Only the SOAP messaging will be defined – no message protocols or client/server agents will be defined.

· Basic usage/formatting rules (beyond WS-I) will be defined.

· Existing biometric and Web services standards will be leveraged wherever possible.

· Sample WSDL and use cases will be provided as an aid in implementation.

· Use of basic SOAP will allow all other compatible WS* standards (and discovery mechanisms) to be used in conjunction with BIAS messaging.

· BIAS will support both secure (i.e., using existing security mechanisms such as WS-Security, SAML, etc,) and non-secure implementations.

· Generic biometric operations will be defined – use of biometrics within a Web services authentication protocol is not addressed.

· OASIS namespace rules will be followed, though some external schemas MAY also be referenced.

5.2 Message requirements

BIAS SOAP messages MUST conform to [WS-I-Basic] and [WS-I-Bind]. A single BIAS SOAP message MUST contain only one BIAS service request (or single BIAS service response). Binary components of BIAS messages are already Base-64 encoded and therefore do not need to be conveyed as SOAP attachments (though XOP MAY be utilized).

The system model used for BIAS conversations over SOAP is a simple request-response model. BIAS comprises both synchronous and asynchronous operations, with the majority being of the former type. Asynchronous operations are implemented through message pairs. That is, there are separate messages to request the operation and to request the results of the operation. These have been defined for those operations that are likely to take significant time to complete. For example, an identify operation can be implemented as either a synchronous or asynchronous service as follows:

Figure 5. Example of Synchronous and Asynchronous BIAS Operations

The basic process for using SOAP for BIAS operations is:

A system entity acting as a BIAS requester transmits a BIAS request element within the body of a SOAP message to a system entity acting as a BIAS responder. The BIAS requester MUST NOT include more than one BIAS request per SOAP message or include any additional XML elements in the SOAP body.
The BIAS responder MUST return either a BIAS response element within the body of another SOAP message or generate a SOAP fault. The BIAS responder MUST NOT include more than one BIAS response per SOAP message or include any additional XML elements in the SOAP body. If a BIAS responder cannot, for some reason, process a BIAS request, it MUST generate a SOAP fault. (SOAP 1.1 faults and fault codes are discussed in [SOAP11] section 5.1.)
On receiving a BIAS response in a SOAP message, the BIAS requester MUST NOT send a fault code or other error messages to the BIAS responder. Since the format for the message interchange is a simple request-response pattern, adding additional items such as error conditions would needlessly complicate the protocol.

SOAP 1.1 also defines an optional data encoding system. This system is not used within the BIAS SOAP binding. This means that BIAS messages can be transported using SOAP without re-encoding from the “standard” BIAS schema to one based on the SOAP encoding.

NOTE: [SOAP11] references an early draft of the XML Schema specification including an obsolete namespace. BIAS requesters SHOULD generate SOAP documents referencing only the final XML schema namespace. BIAS responders MUST be able to process both the XML schema namespace used in [SOAP11] as well as the final XML schema namespace.

5.3 Handling binary data

BIAS messages frequently contain binary data (e.g., biometric data, scanned identity documents, etc.). Two methods are provided for dealing with this:

Embedded Base64 encoding
XOP [XOP]

Use of SOAP with Attachments (SWA) is deprecated.

5.3.1 Base64 encoding

This method is the default method for including binary data. Binary data is Base64 encoded and included between the tags in the XML SOAP body for the appropriate data elements. Data elements using this method are indicated as such in the schema.

As an example, the CBEFF_BIR_Type includes, as one of the BIR types, BinaryBIR of type base64binary.

<xsd:element name="BinaryBIR" type="xs:base64Binary" />

However, even an XML_BIR as defined within [CBEFF3], contains a biometric data block (BDB) which may be entirely binary (most common),

<xs:element name="bdb" type="xs:base64Binary" minOccurs="0"/>

or contain an element which is binary (e.g., an image within an XML BDB).

5.3.2 Use of XOP

When XOP is used, the binary content is replaced with a reference (URI) to an attachment (i.e., MIME) which contains that “stripped” content via an xop:include. The advantage of this method is overall message size during transmission since the overhead of the embedded Base64 is not present (since the MIME attachment contains the native binary format).

Use of XOP is generally transparent to the developer, other than in how they configure their toolset. Most frameworks support this; however, there is a possibility of mismatch if the transmitter supports and uses XOP but the receiver does not.

5.4 Discovery

BIAS implementers (service providers) MUST provide WSDL [WSDL11] to describe their implementations. This WSDL MAY or may not be made public via a standard discovery mechanism (such as UDDI) or other method.

In addition, it is REQUIRED that the BIAS implementation include the QueryCapabilities operation to provide dynamic information regarding BIAS capabilities, options, galleries, etc. that are supported.

5.5 Identifying operations

Receivers of BIAS SOAP messages require a method of easily identifying the operation being requested (or response being provided). This SHOULD be possible without the receiver needing to infer it from the sum of the elements provided within the body of the SOAP message. The BIAS SOAP profile allows for two methods of identifying BIAS operations:

Explicit named element in body of the SOAP message
Use of WS-Addressing Action element

5.5.1 Operation name element

The BIAS message sender (requester) will include within the body of the BIAS SOAP message an XML element <BIASOperationName>. The receiver (service provider) can search for this tag within a received BIAS SOAP message to determine what operation is being requested. There is no requirement related to the ordering of this element within the message, though it is RECOMMENDED that it be included early in the message to aid in human readability.

An example of this method for the CreateSubject operation is shown below:

POST /bias HTTP/1.1

Host: www.acme.com

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=”utf-8”

Content-Length: nnnn

SOAPAction: “”

<?xml version=”1.0”?>

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=”http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope”>

<soap:Body>

<tns:CreateSubjectRequest xmlns:tns=”http://docs.oasis‐open.org/bias/bias‐1.0/”>

<tns:GenericRequestParameters>

<tns:Application>BIAS Application</tns:Application>

<tns:ApplicationUser>BIAS User</tns:ApplicationUser>

<tns:BIASOperationName>CreateSubject</tns:BIASOperationName>

</tns:GenericRequestParameters>

<tns:Identity>

<tns:SubjectID>123456789</tns:SubjectID>

</tns:Identity>

</tns:CreateSubjectRequest>

</soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

5.5.2 WS-Addressing Action

WS-Addressing [WS-Addr] provides a mechanism for including action information inside any SOAP message. The information is in the SOAP Header. The WS-Addressing ‘Action’ element is used to indicate the intent of the message. The value is a URI/IRI identifying that intent; however, there are no restrictions on the format or specificity of the URI/IRInor a requirement that it can be resolved. Adoption of this option also requires that the WS-Addressing ‘To’, ‘ReplyTo’, and ‘MessageID’ elements are supplied, as they are mandatory elements in a request-reply message pattern as used within BIAS. Response messages would also need to use WS-Addressing, requiring the ‘To’ (matching the ‘ReplyTo’ element in the request), ‘RelatesTo’ (matching the ‘MessageID’ element in the request), and ‘RelationshipType’ (default value to “wsa:Reply”) elements.

Use of WS-Addressing is OPTIONAL in this profile as is this method of using the ‘Action’ field for this purpose. However, when BIAS is used within an environment using WS-Addressing, it is RECOMMENDED that this approach for use of the ‘Action’ field to carry the BIAS operation name is employed, either alone or in combination with the BIASOperationName approach described in section 5.5.1.

An example for a message request for the CreateSubject operation would look likethe following:

POST /bias HTTP/1.1

Host: www.acme.com

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=”utf-8”

Content-Length: nnnn

SOAPAction: “”

<?xml version=”1.0”?>

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=”http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope”

xmlns:wsa=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing”>

<soap:Header>

<wsa:MessageID>some-ID</wsa:MessageID>

<wsa:ReplyTo>

<wsa:Address>response-URI</wsa:Address>

</wsa:ReplyTo>

<wsa:To>destination-URI</wsa:To>

<wsa:Action>CreateSubject</wsa:Action>

</soap:Header>

<soap:Body>

<tns:CreateSubjectRequest

xmlns:tns=”http://docs.oasis‐open.org/bias/bias‐1.0/” />

</soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

5.6 Security

The end-points that exchange SOAP messages (or handle the contents of the BIAS operations) are expected to be protected and trusted such that message-level security mechanisms may not be required. The use of SSL (HTTPS) or VPN technology that provides end-point to end-point security is RECOMMENDED and MAY be sufficient in some cases. Other mechanisms such as Signed XML or WSS [WSS] could also be implemented.

Unless stated otherwise, the following security statements apply to all BIAS bindings.

5.6.1 Use of SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0

Unless otherwise specified, in any BIAS binding’s use of SSL 3.0 [SSL3] or TLS1.0 [RFC2246], servers MUST authenticate clients using a X.509 v3 certificate [X509]. The client MUST establish server identity based on contents of the certificate (typically through examination of the certificate’s subject DN field, subjectAltName attribute, etc.).

Use of transport level security in the form of SSL or TLS is OPTIONAL but highly RECOMMENDED. Use of these mechanisms alone may not be sufficient for end-to-end integrity and confidentiality, however (see 5.6.3 and 5.6.4 below).

5.6.2 Data Origin Authentication

Authentication of both the BIAS requester and the BIAS responder associated with a message is OPTIONAL and depends on the environment of use: Authentication mechanisms available at the SOAP message exchange layer or from the underlying substrate protocol (for example, in many bindings the SSL/TLS or HTTP protocol) MAY be utilized to provide data origin authentication.

Transport authentication will not meet end-to-end origin authentication requirements in bindings where the BIAS SOAP message passes through an intermediary – in this case, message authentication is RECOMMENDED.

Note that SAML [SAML] MAY be used as the mechanism for parties to authenticate to one another.

5.6.3 Message Integrity

Message integrity of both BIAS requests and BIAS responses is OPTIONAL and depends on the environment of use. The security layer in the underlying substrate protocol or a mechanism at the SOAP message exchange layer MAY be used to ensure message integrity.

Transport integrity will not meet end-to-end integrity requirements in bindings where the BIAS SOAP message passes through an intermediary – in this case, message integrity is RECOMMENDED.

5.6.4 Message Confidentiality

Message confidentiality of both BIAS requests and BIAS responses is OPTIONAL and depends on the environment of use. The security layer in the underlying substrate protocol or a mechanism at the SOAP message exchange layer MAY be used to ensure message confidentiality.

Transport confidentiality will not meet end-to-end confidentiality requirements in bindings where the BIAS SOAP message passes through an intermediary.

NOTE: Biometric and biographic data is likely to contain personal information the confidentiality of which SHOULD be protected accordingly. See INCITS 442, section 6.3 for further discussion.

5.6.5 CBEFF BIR security features

Within BIAS, biometric data is transferred within a CBEFF BIR (as defined in ISO/IEC 19785-1). CBEFF provides for the optional encryption of the Biometric Data Block (BDB) of the BIR and for the integrity of the entire BIR. If implemented, this is indicated in the BIR header. The BIR structure defines an optional Security Block which MAY contain a digital signature (or message authentication code), encryption parameters (e.g., key name, algorithm, etc.), and/or other security related data. Such protections are associated with an individual BIR and are separate from any other protections provided at the message level.

5.6.6 Security Considerations

Before deployment, each combination of authentication, message integrity, and confidentiality mechanisms SHOULD be analyzed for vulnerability in the context of the specific protocol exchange and the deployment environment.

Special care should be given to the impact of possible caching on security.

IETF RFC 2617 [RFC2617] describes possible attacks in the HTTP environment when basic or message digest authentication schemes are used.

Many of the security considerations identified in [SAML SEC] MAY also apply.

ISO/IEC 19092 [BIO SEC] describes a security framework for biometric systems including a minimum set of security requirements addressing integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of biometric information during transmission and storage. These SHOULD be considered as part of an overall risk management approach.

NOTE: The requirements of ISO/IEC 19092, though useful across many application domains, are required for most biometric system implementations in the financial services environment. Application of this standard would make the requirements of sections 5.5.3 through 5.5.5 mandatory rather than optional. This is highly RECOMMENDED for any high security environment or where privacy concerns exist.

5.6.7 Security of Stored Data

This specification does not address security considerations for stored data. It is the purview of the BIAS service provider to implement security mechanisms and protect data at rest as per their own security policies.

5.6.8 Key Management

This specification does not address key management considerations with respect to implementation of cryptographic security mechanisms (e.g., for authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality).

5.7 Use with other WS* standards

The intent of specifying SOAP bindings for BIAS messages is to enable the full range of existing Web services standards to be able to be applied. Some may be normative while others can be optionally applied (i.e., WS-Security, WS-Addressing). Still others may require additional profiling to be used in an interoperable manner (e.g., WS-Notification); this is left to a future revision. However, the intent is to avoid specifying anything in the first, base version that would preclude the use of such standards in the future.

5.8 Tailoring

This standard provides for a common method of implementing biometric Web services; however, it does not guarantee interoperability in a specific application. In some cases further tailoring or profiling of this standard may be required in order to further constrain the implementation options available.

NOTE: As an example, BIAS allows for a number of different biographic and biometric data formats to be used, whereas a given application/domain MAY wish to limit this to a small set or just one of each type. Other examples (not comprehensive) include:

· Identification of a subset of BIAS operations to be used

· Specification of security features to be implemented (e.g., SSL, CBEFF BIR encryption, etc.)

· Choice of operation name identification method

· Choice of BIR type to be used (XML, non-XML, or URI)

· Further definition of aggregate operations

· Use (or not) of the encounter model

· Use (or not) of asynchronous operations

· Process sequences

· Implementation specific values (e.g., Transform operations/controls)

6 Error handling

There are two levels of errors that can be returned in an error response: system and service errors.

System-level errors occur when the implementing system cannot service a request. They could result due to an internal logic error or because the implementing system does not support a particular request.
Service-level errors occur when there is a problem transmitting or representing the service request. They could result due to an invalid service request or because of a communications error.

The INCITS BIAS standard defines the error condition codes for system-level errors.

If successful, a response message (containing a return code) will be generated.
If unsuccessful, a SOAP fault message (containing a fault code) will be generated.

6.1 BIAS operation return codes

If a BIAS operation is successful, a response (service output) will be sent to the requester by the service provider. Each response message contains a response status (see section 3.2.37) and return code (see section 3.2.38) along with any response data as defined for that operation, if any. A response code of ‘0’ indicates success.

6.2 SOAP fault codes

If a BIAS operation is unsuccessful, no BIAS response message is sent. Instead a SOAP fault message is returned.

Every Web service (operation) described in the BIAS WSDL may result in a fault message that will be returned in the response by the service provider in the event of an error. The fault message contains a FaultCode element as defined by the SOAP 1.1 specification (see section 3.2.5). The fault message MUST contain a Detail element in a common format, as described by the BIASFault element (see section 3.2.6).

The schema provided in Annex A defines “BIASFaultCode” and “BIASFaultDetail” types as well as “BIASFault”, “BIASFaultType”, “BIASFaultMessage” and “BIASFaultDescription” elements.

The list of defined BIAS fault codes is provided in section 3.2.5. Note that BIAS service providers MAY define additional fault codes unique to their service.

NOTE: See also section 5.2 for additional information on message returns and faults.

7 Conformance

Implementations claiming conformance to this standard, MUST implement, at a minimum, all mandatory requirements and provisions set forth in Clauses 3, 4, 5 and 6. If such implementations claim conformance to any OPTIONAL requirements and provisions stated in Clauses 3, 4, 5 and 6, these requirements and provisions MUST be implemented as set forth in these Clauses.

INCITS 442 [INCITS-BIAS] (Annex A) specifies five BIAS conformance classes. For each class, a set of mandatory BIAS operations is identified in order for implementations (BIAS service providers) to claim conformance. These categories are:

Class 1: Full Primitive Services Implementation

Class 2: Full Aggregate Services Implementation
Class 3: Limited Primitive Services Implementation
Class 4: Minimum Primitive Services Implementation
Class 5: Minimum Aggregate Services Implementation

In addition, the minimum capability information to be returned in response to a Query Capabilities request (the only mandatory BIAS operation across all 5 classes) is specified for each class.

These conformance classes and their associated requirements apply to this BIAS SOAP Profile.

There are no minimum set of operations required to be implemented by BIAS requesters; however, any operations implemented must conform to the requirements of Clauses 3 and 4 and those requirements within Clause 5 that are mandatory and are not specific to BIAS responders.

aggregate service is implemented as an asynchronous service, the

implementing system returns a token in the ReturnData
