Re: [ciq] Integration problem in CIQ!

Hi Ram

 

I've been out of action for a while, so forgive me if I'm asking questions that have already been answered.

Why are we merging GML with xAL? Can't these two schemas be used side-by-side? My XML element can simply define XML namespaces for xAL to define the address, and another XML element to capture the geo-spatial info by pointing to GML.

Any efforts to integrate these sort of standards that have been developed independently of each other is going to be hard work ... My personal preference is to keep things as atomic as possible and leave it up to the user to do what he/she likes. After all, that's why these are open standards ...

 

Cheers

Team,

It appears that a simple GML profile developed for OASIS by OGC is a good
choice to be included as part of xAL and this is under discussion now
with OGC. I tried to include this profile schema with xAL.

Guess what! This profile uses xlink schema (its own implementation)
and this clashes with CIQ and xBRL version of xLink schema!

Any suggestions?

I think the only way is to use "any <namespace of the simple profile>"
referenced in xAL.

Ram
