Subject: RE: [wsrp][wsia][wsrp-wsia joint interfaces][Draft Spec 0.43]Terminology
For me, both ID and Handle indicate an opaque reference ... key would be
the one that raises ideas of persistence (aka database keys). I do agree
that common uses of ID have durations that range from single-use to
persistent. Is this a problem for people? Any other suggestions?

Rich,
Wouldn't you tend to think that "ID" hints towards persistence and "Handle"
hints towards transience and not vice-versa?

Presuming the 2nd case to get dropped relative to the previous set of
emails, I would propose this section call out how we will refer to
these
things throughout the remainder of the document/API. In particular, I
would
suggest:
Session Information - This is carried opaquely in the interface
as a
"sessionID".
=> goes away
Persistent Information - This is carried opaquely in the
interface as
a "handle".
Rather than "Manifestation", I would propose using "Entity" to
describe the
thing from which markup may be requested. I think it has the right
level of
opacity (Consumer has no idea what kind of entity it is) while
carrying
appropriate semantics (a thing that may be interacted with). Using
these
terms, there was also an open question at the end of our last call
related
to whether there were both persistent and transient entities ...
If we are going to support explicit lifecycle for both of these, I
would
propose:
handle createEntity(handle, propertyValues)
sessionID createSession(handle, propertyValues)
