Subject: rim.xsd and reference URIs



Team,

I have been busy implementing support for ebXML Registry version 3 in the freebXML Registry project. One issue that keeps coming up during implementation is the fact that in rim.xsd reference attributes cannot be distinguished from any other attributes.

Recall that we use attributes (not elements) of type xsd:anyURI for all reference attributes (e.g. the attribute classifiedObject in complex type ClassificationType).

The problem is that we also use attributes of type anyURI for other reasons such as externalURI in ExternalLinkType.

This makes it impossible for code to be written to distinguish the reference attributes in a RIM class. This means that code has to be written to hard code knowledge about reference attributes. The result is complex and hard to maintain code.

The solution to this problem is extremely simple and described next....

Define a new type called referenceURI which is just an anyURI but with a new specialized type:

  <simpleType name="referenceURI">
    <restriction base="anyURI" />
  </simpleType>

We then use referenceURI  instead of anyURI whenever we have a reference attribute:

  <complexType name="ServiceBindingType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="tns:RegistryObjectType">
        <sequence>
          <element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="tns:SpecificationLink"/>
        </sequence>
        <attribute name="service" type="referenceURI" use="optional"/>
        <attribute name="accessURI" type="anyURI" use="optional"/>
        <attribute name="targetBinding" type="referenceURI" use="optional"/>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>

Notice above that some attributes in bold text are referenceURI type while accessURI is not.
This allows us to distinguish reference attributes from other URI attributes.

Best of all the proposed change has no functional impact on what the XML instance documents look like.

I am enclosing the modified rim.xsd and a diff.txt file that has only the differences of changes using the universal diff format.

I am proposing that we make this simple and safe change to rim.xsd in order to address the problem I have described.
This issue is simple enough that I propose that we resolve it over email rather than a more heavy weight process.

What does team think?
