Team, we need to decide when we discuss Work Item 7 today about URN and 
URLs. In addition note, input from Martin Roberts this morning. Thanks.

||Hi All,

||Nikora kindly reminded me of the OASIS URNs. Thanks.
||Per RFC 3121 <ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3121.txt> "A URN 
Namespace for OASIS",  targetNamespace for BPSS 2.0 schema will be:
||
||"urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-bp:bpss:2.0"
||@kn
||Hi Kanji,
||Here is how ebXML Registry uses OASIS URNs for namespaces:
||http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/documents/2.5/schema/rim.xsd
||
||As you can see it is conformant to OASIS URN, and at the same time 
includes
||the version of the spec
||<snip>
||targetNamespace="urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:rim:xsd:2.5"
||</snip>

||Item 7 Addl
||Dear All,
||About Work Item 7, Versioning:
||I reviewed work item 7 to find original issue raised by Michael Wang 
was about "versioning of BPSS XSD schema".
||Mike's point was that BPSS specification should use different 
namespace URI for different version of schema. I think this is quite 
easy to address. Here are some ||observations:
||- BPSS 1.05 uses namespace URI "http://www.ebxml.org/BusinessProcess";.
||- CPPA 2.0 uses 
"http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-cppa/schema/cpp-cpa-2_0.xsd";.
||If CPPA is following OASIS convention (Do we have such a thing?), 
naturally we would use
||http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-bp/schema/bp-2_0.xsd
||for BPSS 2.0. I believe this resolves the work item 7 and we can close 
it if everyone agrees.
||And, if I understand right, recent discussions on versioning is 
completely different from this work item 7. It was not about versioning 
of BPSS specification itself, but|| about versioning of business process 
description written in BPSS. We should add another work item for this 
issue, I suppose. I'll post another message to ||describe this new work 
item.
||Let me know if I missing something here. Thanks.

Point|Requirements identification; mm1@ Kenji: We discussed last week
||about versioning.  It appears we have a few evolving requirements 
related to versioning, and our work may complement: * To identify and
||make available key BPSS elements * To support the identification of 
the process description (specification) * To support the identification 
of the computable ||process description (schema) * To support any 
alignment to the ebXML set of specifications
||I'd encourage others to comment or revise above. Thanks. @mm1
||Point|Other potential business requirements; mm1@
||The potential exists to have requirements to reconcile instances and 
namespaces. This was discussed mid-last week in another ebXML forum. 
This may apply to ||BPSS instances, fragments, elements or the process 
description.
