7. 2005/08/25ACS WG - Data transport with SOAP message 7 ACS Create message (1) Discrete files in multipart MIME: : Each refers to other parts in MIME multipart structure (or external storage).

8. 2005/08/25ACS WG - Data transport with SOAP message 8 Discrete files in multipart MIME -Structure of the ACS Create message Create Request (SOAP) AAD AC-1 AC-2 AC-n

9. 2005/08/25ACS WG - Data transport with SOAP message 9 ACS Create message (2) A bundled file in a MIME structure: This refers to another parts in MIME multipart structure.

10. 2005/08/25ACS WG - Data transport with SOAP message 10 A bundled file in multipart MIME -Structure of the ACS Create message Create Request (SOAP) A bundled file containing AAD and multiple AC’s

11. 2005/08/25ACS WG - Data transport with SOAP message 11 In summary… The AA document for ACS Create request can be transported as SOAP with attachment. There are two possible embodiment to this. –Discrete files in multiple MIME –A bundled file in a MIME ACS Create request is accompanied with AA document in either format above.
