Minimum Dataset WSDL Development

We began thinking about developing a minimum dataset (MDS) WSDL (for biosurveillance) that could be downloadable for developers within potential data sources (hospitals, public health departments, universities). This WSDL would include a stub framework (or would be a framework) for development in the .NET & JAVA environments. The framework would provide the developers with an easy to use and implement framework for exposing the MDS WSDL in both a secure (user name and password) and super-secure (grid:X.509 certificate) manner. We plan to work with the biosurveillance experts within public health.
