Subject: Re: [ubl] Re: Schema/model bugs
w.r.t to UnSpecialised versus Unspecialised. this was my filenaming error. In all cases it should be Unspecialised. w.r.t to Data Types. the CCTS uses the spelling as "Data Type" (except in one place where it is "Data type"). The spelling (and term) "datatype" seems to be used in an XML/XSD environment to denote a very precise set of objects (http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/#dt-datatype). The current NDR (draft P) uses both spellings fairly evenly, but (as Mark said) is clear on the names of the schema modules...UnSpecialisedDatatypes and SpecialisedDatatypes. So I don't think we can do as Stephen proposes. We use "datatype" and "data type" for the CCTS objects and the XSD ones synonimously. That is, there is no semantic difference between xsd:dateTime and cct:DateTimeType - they are both "datatypes". To keep this simple, I suggest we adopt "datatype" for all our uses, except where we explicitly want to talk about the objects in the CCTS Table 8-1 and 8-2, then we use the term "Data Type". jon.bosak@sun.com wrote: >[This is the same message I just sent but with a better subject >line.] > >[stephen_green@seventhproject.co.uk:] > >| Either way, we would need to update our documentation >| to ensure consistency.
