We hope to have the version 3 ballot for TC approval in the next 2 months. I expect that the freebXML Registry implementation will support it in the next 3 months. Note that for source code control subvesrion would still be the better choice but for document management ebXML Registry is the better fit. For example ebXML Registry will allow the documents to be accessible at user defined URLs. Subversion I suspect will not. Subversion will also not support: -Rich meta data such as classifications, associations etc. (and in future Semantic Meta data) -Content validation and cataloging -Notification of changes based on specific event filtering queries -Content based discovery -Fine grained access control -Federated repository model BTW it is possible that an ebXML Registry implementation may use subversion under the hood for it versioning sub-system. Let the TC know if you have any follow up questions or any suggestions on features lacking in ebXML Registry standard. -- Regards, Farrukh > > -Karl > > > Farrukh Najmi wrote: > >> Hi Karl, >> >> I am curious if you have considered using an ebXML Registry for all >> your document management needs. >> I would welcome your engaging with the TC if the specs are lacking >> some critical features.
