Subject: RE: [cgmo-webcgm] APS 'name' attribute in XCF?
Thanks Benoit (and Dieter). I think the issue for at least some of our users is that they want access to all of the metadata in a given WebCGM instance without having to parse the CGM file itself. Having the metadata in an XML file is very convenient, because XML parsers are readily available. The bindByName element will serve that purpose, albeit somewhat indirectly since it cannot be a child element of the grobject, para, or subpara elements. But it does allow me to put all of the names used in a given WebCGM instance into the XCF. It looks like our users will have to write some JavaScript to associate name attributes to a specific APS.

Hi Robert, No it is not an oversight. The group sees the 'name' attribute very similar to the 'id' attribute... It is not possible to set both those attributes via the XML companion file. Both these attributes have to be assigned a value within authoring tools. The DOM and XCF functionality around the 'name' attribute is aimed at queries. From a DOM and XCF perspective, the 'id' and 'name' attributes are read-only.
