HL7 Advanced Web Services Profiles
HL7 is an ANSI-accredited Standards Organization that develops interface requirements for health care organizations. Last September the following profiles were submitted by Microsoft to HL7:
- Security Profile as DSTU: based on WS-Security (pdf), WS-SecureConversation, WS-Trust and WS-Policy
- Addressing as DSTU: based on WS-Addressing
- Reliable Messaging as draft: based on WS-ReliableMessaging
If you work in Healthcare you are probably already aware of these profiles. If you don't work in Healthcare you should still take a look - these profile serve as excellent guidelines for using some of the advanced Web Services specifications.
Conngratulations to Roberto Ruggeri, Chris Kaler, Felipe Cabrera and Mauro Regio!

looks like i need to slow down a bit. john, would you care to discuss ebXML and Microsoft's approach to it? if i have misrepresented you it would make sense to clear up any misunderstandings on my part. i have heard both IBM and MS folks says ebXML is dead many times...
I had also been meaning to ask about your compliance metadata strategy. - Anonymous

Any ties to between ERDA Famework and web services Profiles - Anonymous

KP,
If you mean EDRA (Enterprise Development Reference Architecture), then the answer is no. EDRA was designed to standardize the internal architecture of a distributed application. HL7 is a well-known industry standard with several existing messaging patterns and messages. The profiles for HL7 could potentially be used within an EDRA-like framework. The HL7 profiles focus specifically on WS-Security, WS-Addressing and WS-ReliableMessaging. EDRA has a much broader scope, providing architectural guidance for enterprises looking to standardize the separation of business logic from the underlying infrastructure. - Anonymous

A long while ago I was excited to hear that someone from Microsoft was working on compliance architecture. This seemed like really good news, because RedMonk strongly believes in taking a systematic, integrated approach to the related problems
