The ICE Cookbook becomes part
of the ICE 2.0 Specification
Alexandria, VA – August 24, 2004
– The ICE Cookbook was originally written
by the authors of the ICE (Information and Content
Exchange) Specification to assist in implementing
ICE in a wide variety of situations. The premise
of the cookbook was to assist system designers
in their attempt to balance the near-term need
for an immediate solution with the long-term desire
for a well-structured and complete solution.
The ICE Authoring Group designed
the “ICE Cookbook” to solve simple problems with
simple solutions, and more complex problems with
more sophisticated solutions. The recipes included
in the cookbook, start with simple Basic ICE solutions
and add capabilities with each succeeding recipe.
The objective of the recipe book was to start
with implementation of the Basic ICE protocol
and add capabilities until a Full ICE compliant
implementation with push delivery, subscription
management and delivery confirmation is achieved.
The implementation cookbook was a way to provide
the Web community with a set of practical implementation
steps that both get the job done quickly and efficiently
as well as providing a path so that your near-term
investment in building an easy solution contributes
to the long-term goal of Full ICE syndication
capabilities.
While ICE 1.0 was contained in a
single specification document, ICE 2.0 has been
modularized and is presented as a six-document.
This set includes the ICE 2.0 Specification and
has added the ICE Cookbook as well. The ICE 2.0
Specification document set now includes ICE 2.0:
Primer, ICE 2.0: Cookbook, ICE 2.0: Basic ICE
Specification, ICE 2.0: Full ICE Specification,
ICE 2.0: Schemas and Scripts, and ICE 2.0: Guidelines
to Extending the Protocol. The six-document specification,
set as well as the .XSD and .WSDL sample files,
can be downloaded from http://www.icestandard.org/specification/.
