RE: [dita] Possible filename changes for DITA 1.0

["Esrig, Bruce (Bruce)" <esrig@lucent.com>]

The file naming conventions on page 5 will need corresponding revisions.

 

Also, the headings on page 5 seem to mean "files containing ...".

 

Either the headings should be changed to say "Files containing <model terminology goes here>" or

they should use the Declaration terminology.

 

"Files containing" would be appropriate if a file contains part of a module but not all of it.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bruce Esrig

Seeing no objections, I'll make the changes in the spec.

Subject	[dita] Possible filename changes for DITA 1.0

Hello fellow TC members,

Here is a subset of the proposed list of changes of file names for DITA
1.0.

Does not look like anyone found this one yet in the arch spec. -  pg. 36 in
the section 'Default nested topics entity' in the second paragraph needs a
space
between thetopictype-info-types.

Kind regards,
Eric

topic_class.ent --> topicAttr.mod, topicAttr.xsd

topic_defn.ent --> topicDefn.ent  - remove underscore and camelCase it
topic_grp.xsd  --> topicGrp.xsd  - remove underscore and camelCase it

tbl_xml.mod --> tblDecl.mod, tblDecl.xsd  --- Decl for element declarations
meta_xml.mod --> metaDecl.mod, metaDecl.xsd

ui-domain.mod --> uiDomain.mod uiDomain.xsd  - remove hyphen and camelCase
it for the remaining domains.

Defn.ent and Grp.xsd files are essentially the same in terms of they serve
the same purpose.
They give us the capability to alias/substitute one element for another.

If we expand  Grp.xsd to Group.xsd the will be a conflict with
mapGroup.mod.  So we would have to find
a new name for mapGroup.xsd to avoid a conflict with mapGrp.xsd.

Changes that would affect the architecturalspec
 pg. 9 - tbl_xml.mod to tblDecl.mod
 pg. 9 - meta_xml.mod to metaDecl.mod

 pg.10 schema\concept.mod to conceptMod.xsd
 pg.11 schema\task.mod to taskMod.xsd
 pg.13 schema\reference.mod to referenceMod.xsd
 pg.13 ui-domain.mod to uiDomain.mod
          change remaining domains in the table.

 pg.18 mapgroup.mod to mapGroup.mod

 pg. 39 topic_mod.xsd to topicMod.xsd in the sample
 pg. 39 _mod.xsd and _grp.xsd to Mod.xsd and Grp.xsd
 pg. 39 concept_mod.xsd to conceptMod.xsd

 pg.40  concept_grp.xsd to conceptGrp.xsd
 pg.40  _grp.xsd to Grp.xsd
 pg.40 -domain.xsd to Domain.xsd
