Re: [wsrf] Should we collapse WSRF schema documents?

[Ian Robinson <ian_robinson@uk.ibm.com>]

OK, I think its pretty loud and clear on the preference for 1 schema per
spec.

The proposed resolution to WSRF50 then remains as: create a schema and WSDL
associated with the WS-Resource spec for the definition of the
ResourceUnknown fault.  This is essentially the basis of the "common
definitions" file that Rich mentions.

I agree with all of those who have pointed out the downsides of collapsing
all of the schemas into a single file, but would suggest that factoring out
common definitions into a core schema file which each of the spec-specific
schemas then imports would be helpful.

Related to issues 50 ("WSRF50: Faults common to multiple specs in one
namespace ") and 81 ("WSRF81: recommendation to change WSDL documents"), I
would like to suggest that we collapse the schema for RP, RL, SG and BF
into a single document that can be imported into each WSDL.

On the telecon this week, we resolved issue 50: "WSRF50: Faults common to
multiple specs in one namespace "
with a recommendation to move the definition of the ‘ResourceUnknown’ fault
from WSRF-RP to the WS-Resource spec. A new schema document, referenced
from the WS-Resource specification, would be needed to contain the type
definition of this fault. This fault may be returned by a WS-Resource
following any message exchange, not just those protocol messages defined in
the WSRF specs.

Rather than create a new schema document, we could consider refactoring our
existing ones by collapsing the RP, RL, SG and BF schema into a single WSRF
schema document.

Any opinions?
