The document discusses interoperability and Microsoft's commitment to it. It defines interoperability as the ability of diverse systems to connect and exchange information. Microsoft supports interoperability through its implementations of WS-* specifications in Windows Communication Foundation and by participating in standards bodies. Profiles help constrain specifications to promote out-of-the-box interoperability across industries and systems.

3. What is Interoperability? Applications working together Different platforms Different languages Different companies Different versions Integration = Combining software or hardware components or both into an overall system. Interoperability = The ability to exchange and use information (usually in a large heterogeneous network made up of several local area networks) The ability of software and hardware on multiple machines from multiple vendors to communicate Source : Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=interoperability http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=integration

4. Interoperability means connecting people, data, and diverse systems It gives customers control over the data they create and want to share Vendors create innovative solutions that bridge technologies to address real customer needs in an innovative manner The nature of software allows for translatability in lieu of uniformity

5. Integration via Interoperability Network App Other Vendor Stack App Other MSFT Stack App WCF App WCF Wire level interoperability achieves integration in a heterogeneous environment.

7. Microsoft’s Commitment to Interoperability Bill Gates’ Executive E-mail – “Building Software That Is Interoperable By Design” http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail/2005/02-03interoperability.asp Plus deep commitment at the execution level Specification development and standardization WS-* Spec authorship Participation in Standards bodies Participation in WS-I Adopting XML and WS-* as the universal glue eg. Systems Management, Connected Devices, Identity Management Shipping products: Early WS-* implementations (WSE) Strategic WS-* platform (“Indigo” / WCF) Easy-to-use development environment (Visual Studio) Community feedback and testing WS-* Workshop Process Plug-fests - Product testing of multi-vendor interop

8. WS-* Specifications Process Step 2 Broader Community Participation Step 1 Initial Development Process reconciles conflicting goals Quality of engineering Time to market Breadth of industry support Step 3 Standardization Step 4 Profiling Increasing Industry Participation Specification Published Feedback and Interop Workshops Revise spec Standards Org Such as: WS-I, HL7, ACORD, Devices Profile Idea

9. What Are Interop Profiles? Define a subset of specifications and options that are: Composable Scoped Work together Examples: Secure RM – WS-ReliableMessaging + WS-Trust/SecureConversation/Security ACORD Messaging Profile – WS-* + ACORD payload schemas Who defines the profile? Vertical domain org – eg. ACORD Horizontal org – eg. WS-I Customer – singly or in groups

10. Profile Recipe: Staple, Redline, Glue – Device Profile Example “ Staple” Pull relevant specs into scope “ Redline” Add constraints on use of those specs “ Glue” Define missing bits between specs Some will migrate back into specs ThisModel Metadata ThisDevice Metadata Action Filter Conformance Claim Policy Assertions Policy Assertions SOAP 1.2 WS-Addressing WS-Metadata Exchange WSDL 1.1 WS-Discovery WS-Eventing

11. Why Do We Need Interop Profiles? Need to constrain (soften) runtime options to achieve out-of-box interoperability WS-* Architecture is designed for general applicability across a wide range of industries / scenarios Often too much optionality in the base specifications Tailor to specific domain / environment E.g. Devices Profile only requires SOAP 1.2 not SOAP 1.1 to lower implementation footprint Guide implementation and deployment choices Achieve a proven composition of protocols and payloads Allows simplification of application deployment e.g. WCF allows selection of interop profile to use

12. Summary - Interoperability Interoperability is the best way to achieve system integration in a heterogeneous IT environment Wire-level interoperability is the real goal Web Services WS-* Architecture designed to support multi-vendor environments Profiling is an important tool for achieving business interoperability Microsoft is deeply committed to delivering products with proven interoperability that work well in heterogeneous environments Other vendors also delivering implementations for WS-* specs too

37. The Four Tenets of Service-Orientation Services and consumers are independently versioned, deployed, operated, and secured. Services are autonomous Data never includes behavior; Objects with data and behavior are a local phenomenon. Share schema & contract, not class Capabilities and requirements represented by a unique public name; Used to establish service suitability. Compatibility based on policy Developers opt-in to consuming, exposing, and defining public-facing service façade. Boundaries are Explicit
