CPPA version 3 agreement on "semantics" RE: [ebcore-cppa] Notes from CPP/CPA call 2010-02-12

2)  Cristiano's request 
Pete looked into this.  There are some extensibility points,
but they don't seem to provide what Cristiano requested. 
With a document (or constituent part), we would need to
specify (i) the referenced external document, (ii) the
namespace or type of such a document and (iii) some
indication of the what the external document says about the
document or part. Like additional validation constraints,
profiling rules, other types of semantic alignment.  Dale
proposes to bring some more people to the discussion and
will draft some input for discussion.


I am hoping that we can have a discussion of what would be needed to add
to the CPPA to at least meet some of Christiano Novelli's use cases
(references to XSLTs, Schematron test documents, other kinds of semantic
check processing) agreed upon for the exchange of semantically aligned
documents.

Especially welcome would be those with CC and UBL expertise, for
example, who could comment on what is needed.

The "packaging" element is currently the only place where any agreed
upon conventions concerning data quality (at a semantic level) are
found. But the media-types or xsd namespaces referenced are presumably
only a small part of what might be needed. Basically we need to design
some "buckets" for agreed-upon semantic alignment constraint materials,
and are wondering how varied the contents might be.

Can we add this to the agenda as a discussion from ebCore partipants
generally?
