Subject: [ubl-lcsc] Copying a message from a new LCSC member (Chin Chee-Kai)
Thanks Tim.if we sounded like bureaucrats in our insistence on correct formats.Pardon me, but for people who might be used to the free text email replies in lists at IETF, W3C, etc where public comments are actively sought as in this case, the insistence might have a tendency to turn people off. I'm glad I persisted... but I do understand the difficulty and extra time involved if Bill would have to start retyping/regrouping all the comments, especially when the files are plenty and large. Perhaps explaining more clearly and explicitly on the website the reason for asking for feedbacks in RTF forms and the potential large workload on LCSC if feedbacks come in in free form might help on allaying potential negative image, if any, about the choice of mechanism. For instance, I didn't know (until you just explained) that the responses from LCSC will be returned to sender only after Apr 27th's meeting. I probably would've expected some interactive exchanges like in many other lists, and probably concluded (based on expectation of interactive discussion) that the list isn't active. I think I'm only trying to say that there may be people who may have different expectations as to how the public comment list works, and it is probably good to explain on website as what you've just done with me. Just my 2 cents.our plan is to collect and edit comments up until 14th April then distribute a set to all LCSC members. At the Plenary meeting on April 27th we shall go through the comments and agree on the correct disposition.This is certainly good so that the responses will not be haphazard, or different from one another amongst LCSC members. UBL being not just a technical topic, the coordinated approach will help give UBL TC a consistent and coordinated position on matters. Might it be good to append what you've just described to the page on: http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/lcsc/ ?meanwhile, i am happy to subscribe you to the Library Content discussion list, so you can participate in the work of our group. you should receive confirmation of this soon. this may be the opportunity for you to contribute to our ongoing development and maybe clarify or resolve some of your comments.Thanks. As I am working on an automaton script to convert from the 0p70L Excel to XSDs, and am beginning to expose some conversion issues/questions. While I'm at it, can I ask if you know whether all the XSDs generated from "ubl.bat" and "EXXML.pl" are handicrafted further before they are dropped into the xsd directory? The "Reusable.xls" was explicitly stated as "DO NOT GENERATE THE Reusable.xsd from here" within "ubl.bat". What about the other XSDs? cheers, Chin Chee-Kai SoftML
