Title: Message

I'd also suggest that we create standard APIs to load and retrieve taxonomies.

Dear committee,

 

I'd like to seek your opinion if the enhancement I propose in the attached document is worth our attention.

Please, feel free to say that it's all crap and we have bigger problems to solve.

 

See my initial question and Luc's response down below for quick background information.

 

The attached schema was developed for an in-house solution based on UDDI and it is just to give you an idea how the schema may look like. This schema is documented from inside. Please, use an advanced XML editor to see the documentation tags.

 

I also included an small sample XML file that describes a taxonomy.

 

Regards,

Max,

 

Unfortunately, there is nothing that has been published by the UDDI.org Working Group or this TC to date. This is clearly an area that deserves some attention.

 

To support the needs of Microsoft's UDDI customers, Microsoft has created a schema and an API to navigate and retrieve valued from a given value set. The API is entitled the get_relatedCategories. The schema used to support these value sets is available at http://uddi.microsoft.com/extensions.xsd. 

 

We've recently published an article that describes the API and the schema. You can access the article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnuddi/html/travtreeuddi.asp. You might also want to look at a companion article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnuddi/html/impmetadata.asp.

 

Hope this helps

Luc

Dear committee,

 

Do we have a schema to describe a taxonomy with all parent-child relationships, possible values and all?

 

Did I overlook it?

 

Cheers,
