    Hi,

    Nancy - for inclusion as section 3.1 in your next draft
    of SSI after the Montreal meeting (note slightly changed
    title of section). Modelled on the PSI and Counter MIB
    rationale sections.

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    3.1 Rationale for Scan Service Interface

    The PWG Imaging System Counters specification [PWG5106.1] defines:

        (a) A standard set of Imaging Services for Imaging Systems.

        (b) A set of use models for monitoring and billing, management,
            and accounting for these Imaging Services.

        (c) A set of abstract counters for these Imaging Services.
            requirements.

        (d) A set of conformance requirements for implementations of these
            abstract counters in Imaging Systems.

    The IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] and the PWG Print Service
    Interface [PWG5104.2] each define:

        (a) Models of Print Services, Print Devices, and Print Jobs.

        (b) Sets of abstract operations and elements for Print Services.

        (c) Sets of abstract operations and elements for Print Jobs.

        (d) Sets of conformance requirements for implementations of these
            abstract operations and elements in Print Services and Print
            Jobs.

    The IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910] and the PWG Print Service
    Interface [PWG5104.2] each define:

        (a) Concrete protocol stacks for IPP/1.1 (HTTP over TLS) and PSI/1.0
            (SOAP over HTTP).

        (b) Concrete mappings of operations and elements for Print Services.

        (c) Concrete mappings of operations and elements for Print Jobs.
            Jobs.

        (d) Sets of conformance requirements for implementations of these
            concrete operations and elements in Print Services.

    In order to support equivalent functionality for scanning in network
    multifunction devices, there is a clear need to develop a semantic
    model and a set of abstract operations and elements for Scan Services
    and Scan Jobs.

    In order to implement these abstract operations and elements for Scan
    Services and Scan Jobs, there is a clear need to map them onto a
    concrete protocol stack to link Scan Clients and Scan Services.

    Since the current state-of-the-art Internet network application protocol
    stack is the Web Services stack (i.e., WSDL-defined SOAP over HTTP,
    using standard Web Services modules for security, addressing, etc.),
    there is a clear need to define a binding of these abstract operations
    and elements for Scan Services and Scan Jobs onto concrete SOAP messages
    and XML Schema instances.
