Title: Message

Whenever this specification is modified, it SHALL be given a new version number. 

 

It is anticipated that during the review period, errors and inconsistencies in the specification and in the schemas may be detected and have to be corrected. All known errors in the specification as well as necessary changes to the schema will be summarized in an errata page found at

 

TBD    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-cppa-negotiation/documents/cppa-negotiation-Errata.shtml

 

The specification when approved SHALL carry a version number of “1_0”. At that time, the schemas SHALL have a version number of “1_0a” and the suffix letter after “1_0” will be advanced as necessary when bug fixes to the schemas have to be introduced. Such versions of the schemas SHALL be found under the directory

 

TBD    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-cppa/schema/NegotiationMessage.xsd

 

TBD http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-cppa/schema/NDD.xsd

 

 

In addition, the latest version of the schemas SHALL always be found at

 

TBD    http://www.oasis-open.org//schema/2_0.xsd

 

These URIs are also the namespace URIs used for the schemas defined by this specification. The latest versions will then be directly resolvable from the namespace URI.

 

TBD Should we have a version attribute in the schemas?

The value of the version attribute of the Schema element in a given version of the schemas SHALL be equal to the version of the schema.
