Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL)
11 April 2007
Introduction
This document describes resources related to version 2.0 of the
WS-BPEL specification
(OASIS Standard), including the principal prose
document, XML schemas, and five XML namespaces. It also contains a directory of links to related resources using the
Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL) 2.0.
WS-BPEL version 2.0 has been produced by members of the OASIS Web
Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL) TC.
Namespace URI Versioning Policy
It is the intent of the OASIS WS-BPEL Technical Committee that the WS-BPEL v2.0 namespace URIs will not
change arbitrarily with each subsequent revision of the corresponding WSDL or XML Schema documents but rather change only when a subsequent revision, published in conjunction with a Committee Specification, results in non-backwardly compatible changes from a previously published Committee Specification.
Under this policy, the following are examples of backwards compatible changes that would not result in
assignment of new namespace URIs:
- addition of new global element, attribute, complexType and simpleType definitions
- addition of new operations within a WSDL portType or binding (along with the corresponding schema, message and part definitions)
- addition of new elements or attributes in locations covered by a previously specified wildcard
- modifications to the pattern facet of a type definition for which the value-space of the previous definition remains valid or for which the value-space of the preponderance of instance would remain valid
- modifications to the cardinality of elements for which the value-space of possible instance documents conformant to the previous revision of the schema would still be valid with regards to the revised cardinality rule
