This morning, Microsoft published the 'Understanding Web Services Policy' white paper, which I co-authored with Dan Roth.

Understanding Web Services Policy is an introductory description of the Web Services Policy language. This document describes the policy language features using numerous examples. This document is:
- for product decision makers who need to know the features of the language and how policy automates Web service interactions,
- for policy expression authors who need to understand the syntax of the language and understand how to build consistent policy expressions,
- for policy implementers whose software modules read and write policy expressions and
- for policy assertion authors who need to know the features of the language and understand the requirements for describing policy assertions.
For this white paper, I had the pleasure of working with Paul Cotton, Colleen Evans, Kirill Gavrylyuk, Martin Gudgin, Ram Jeyaraman, Andrew Layman, Jonathan Marsh, Jeffrey Schlimmer, Daniel Roth, Jorgen Thelin and Kyle Young. Writing this paper was satisfying and a great learning experience.
