RE: Schema & BP Spec: Items for today's BP/CC meeting

["Kanaskie, Kurt A (Kurt)" <kkanaskie@lucent.com>]

Neal,

Regarding an XML Schema version of the BP Spec, Karsten tells me you are
working on this. I have already generated one, anticipating the request. My
methodology was quite simple:
1. Use XML Spy to create an XSD from the existing DTD (Spy does not support
the PR version, but the only difference I see is duration)
2. Change the appropriate elements to the existing datatypes
a. Boolean
b. uriReference
c. duration
d. enumeration

This allows the same XML to be validated by both a DTD and Schema merely by
assignment within Spy. I like XML Spy!

I plan on providing a Schema version along with an updated DTD by COB today.

Regards,

EbXML Requirements document states a preference for W3C schema standards,
not OASIS or ISO.

The problem with delivering only a W3C schema is that it isn't
approved yet.  Tools available for working with schemas
are limited.  If ebXML is a standards body, it can't deliver
only a schema when schema is standard.  Also, there are 2 other
schema specifications being worked on by 2 other standards
organizations, TREX by OASIS and RELAX through ISO.  

I think it would be wiser to deliver a DTD as the official
deliverable and a schema as an 'added value'.
