RE: [cgmo-webcgm] QUESTION: cascading profile

["Cruikshank, David W" <david.w.cruikshank@boeing.com>]

 Point taken....from an illustating standpoint, if you embed links in
the cgm file, you need to specify something.  I was thinking in terms of
only having a ns variable (ata:refloc) in the ATA XCF and the script
writer converting it to a linkuri and run time and passing it through
the DOM.  Actually a URN would work better for this application, which
is what S1000D uses in it's XREF structure.

I need to sort through it a little in my mind.

Thx...dave

Dave,

I'm not sure that I follow this completely.  You say that the ATA PPF is
now identical to WebCGM 2.0 except for T.16.2 (METAFILE DESCRIPTION).
This implies that T.24.1 (APPLICATION STRUCTURE ATTRIBUTE) is identical,
and the ATA has abandoned the refloc APS attribute in favor of the
linkuri APS attribute.  Then you make this statement:

"We could handle the linkuri/refloc debate through the ATA XCF, for
example."

Please explain and elaborate.

Thanks,

Rob

All,

The ATA graphics group went through the PPF yesterday and  could
conceivably reduce the ATA delta profile down to the single table entry
of METAFILE DESCRIPTION.  At that point, does it make sense to even
specify an ATA PPF?  Or just reference the WebCGM 2.0 PPF?  There are a
few places where we could provide a delta, but nothing significant.  We
could handle the linkuri/refloc debate through the ATA XCF, for example.
There will still be an XCF, so it probably makes sense to specifiy an
ATA profile just to with a ProfileID just to introduce the XCF.

Thoughts?

Thx....Dave
