Subject: Re: [regrep-cc-review] Kickoff!
<Quote1> The fact that XML serialization can point to other objects in other formats - such as UML modelling tool binaries, Word docs, HTML and more, is a registry functionality. </Quote1> I was not looking at XML serialization to perform that role, but rather to have these "other format" objects stored in the registry along with the equivalent XML format (for example, 2 representations of an object - one XML, the other UML). Then, these 2 representations would be associated using the registry association mechanism. Please tell me if I am missing something. <Quote2> We can store either as objects only, no ability to search or interprete semantics inside them. That's why we need the XML serialization to provide that. </Quote2> Please see response above. <Quote3> More especially - we need a simple and clear serialization, that people can understand and can populate readily. </Quote3> Absolutely! <Quote4> We could of course build that very simple box for CCTS based on their columns in their spreadsheet, I recall they have about 6 columns. That will take about 30 minutes to do in XML. </Quote4> Will that cover all of the requirements in CCTS Section 7? Perhaps (but I highly doubt it!). Our mission is to cover the requirements in CCTS Section 7. <Quote5> If they want more than that - then we need to be able to clearly set out the requirements and then be given freedom to engineer a solution. </Quote5> They (the CCTS) simply want us to verify CCTS Section 7. Our requirements are spelled out in the CCTS spec Section 7, and we are free to engineer a solution - that is our mission here.
