Subject: Regrep revised design principles
Here is my revision of the Design Principles - revisions consisted mostly of deleting points we agreed to delete in Paris (and the mention of X3.285 and XML Schema at the top). The point about assuming the use of HTTP may need clarification; I have still to write up a short piece on THTTP, but the point is really that unless we agree to a single protocol we have to specify things at a higher level, which is a bore. regards, Terry

Design Principles</b></a> </h2> <p>The following design principles have been agreed to: </p> <ol> <li> <p> The Registry Technical Specification shall employ existing standards and specifications where possible, avoiding specifications that are not stable. </p> </li> <li> <p> The normative part of the Registry Technical Specification shall be as small as reasonable. </p> </li> <li> <p> The normative part of the Registry Technical Specification shall be complete enough that registries and repositories conformant to it can interoperate in an extensible and distributed network. </p> </li> <li> <p> The normative part of the Registry Technical Specification shall be extensible; in particular, it shall be possible to extend the registration information schema or DTD without inhibiting interoperability among registries. (This point is called out because the registration information schema or DTD is likely to be a normative part of this specification). </p> </li> <li> <p>The Registry Technical Specification shall be vendor-neutral. </p> </li> <li> <p>The Registry Technical Specification shall use XML by preference for encoding of information and documents. </p> </li> <li> <p>The Registry Technical Specification shall assume the use of HTTP. </p> </li> <li> <p>The registry and repository shall be scaleable. </p> </li> </ol> </body> </html>
