Subject: CIQ Call
Hi Ram, all, first, I did not have time yet to dive into the details of both specs and will not before the call either. With the time to our planned 0.5 release nearing I would prefer to have the discussion focus on the what, how and when and leave the details for later e-mails. For one, I believe that we should first discuss integration of GlobalAddress into NAML to make xNAL (I believe we would call it that, right?), and leave element-level discussions for later. Discussion topics there would be how tight the integration of Name (person or company) and Address should be. Your remark concerning our Firm element reinforces my belief here. Firm/Company (I would prefer the neutral name Organization to get the taste of for-profit out) is an essential part of the postal information, but whether this should be part of the address or moved into the Name part is open for discussion. I even believe looking at it the other way around is easier: Take an Address, and insert into that the naming information. This would better support automated address validation, as sometimes a name is an essential part of the address and sometimes it isn't. XML specification languages are still at their best describing hierarchical relations inward (i.e. name *within* address, and when it is mandatory). GlobalAddress structure is currently verifyable using DTDs or Schema and I would prefer to keep it that way. Good news is that I have received raw sample data for 36 countries from our data department, which I need to seriously process before release. I would appreciate you (Ram) send some samples of NAML, as this would aid in the integration. I would suggest the following topics for our call: - ebXML - CEN/UPU - Integration of GlobalAddress and NAML and further detailed timeline to publication 0.5 - Use of Schema - Security update Looking forward to talk to you all, Vincent > -----Original Message----- > From: Ram Kumar [mailto:rkumar@msi.com.au] > Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 5:03 AM > To: ciq@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: RE: Meeting with Holger Wandt, CEN > > > Vincent > > Did you manage to look at the comparision table (AND and MSI DTDs) > that I sent to you earlier?
