Re: [COAS-List] Typos in spec; Trading with HL7, CEN codes?

["David W. Forslund" <dwf@lanl.gov>]

I discovered after I sent the email that this is in the spec already.
Sorry for cluttering up the 
email list.

The part that is needed is the interface to the trader service, a la PIDS:

service IdentificationComponent {
interface IdentificationComponent;
mandatory readonly property string domain_name;
mandatory readonly property StringSeq interfaces_implemented;
mandatory readonly property StringSeq conformance_classes;
mandatory readonly property string component_name;
mandatory readonly property string component_version;
mandatory readonly property StringSeq supported_traits;
mandatory readonly property StringSeq read_only_traits;
mandatory readonly property StringSeq mandatory_traits;
mandatory readonly property StringSeq searchable_traits;
readonly property StringSeq source_domains;
};

Thus we need the service specification for the Trader, so that we can advertise COAS services properly. The above is just an example, but should help doing the right thing for COAS.
