11. Merging RIB with CORBA Trader
OMG does not specify service types or the associated properties for CORBA Traders.
Such domain specific trading dictionaries must be developed by the domain specific communities.
RIG BIDM and NHSE RIB can be viewed as such an domain activity in particular software catalog object areas and currently for non-object software.
RIG objects, the associated Assets terminology and prototype implementations such as RIB can be naturally imported into CORBA Trading Service either directly or via the proxy mechanisms.
The natural place for such a merger is the family of vertical CORBA facilities -
- RIG BIDM could be turned into a 'public domain software repository facility’ and NHSE RIB into a 'HPCC software repository facility'.
