This is a tangled political story, so maybe I won't portray it all correctly, but basically the story goes like this.
IBM and Globus, plus a few others, got together and built a model for stateful services called the WS Resource Framework. Then they build Notifications on top of those stateful resources. Microsoft didn't like WS-RF, so they built a lightweight eventing model (WS Eventing) that didn't include WS-RF. Then there was an attempt to merge the two specs, which meant that they split Notifications into some parts (BaseN, Topics, BrokeredN). The idea was that BaseN and Eventing would be identical. However, I don't think this attempt ever fully succeeded. Maybe work is still going on to unify but I don't know about it. Paul On 5/31/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
