[regrep] Press Release FAQ

["CHIUSANO, Joseph" <JCHIUSANO@lmi.org>]

Title: Press Release FAQ

All,

Here are some suggestions for FAQ items for our press release:

1.  An explanation of the transition of ebXML into OASIS - i.e. why this was done (may be out of scope?)

2.  What is the difference/possibile relationship between an XML registry and a native XML database?

3.  What are the benefits of using an XML registry?

Regarding #3: A year ago I wrote a report for EPA on the implementation of an XML registry, and we included the following general benefits:

• Promotes reuse


• Enables efficient version control


• Promotes unified understanding of registered objects


• Ensures consistency across organization areas


• Promotes selective access to registered objects (this one references access control, read-only access, etc.)


• Enables collaborative development of XML components

Regards,
Joe
