Subject: Sample examples for xNAL
Hi all I have now used GlobalAddress V1.2 Spec., and have made some changes to it to convert it to xAL DTD (as OASIS Spec) and then have integrated it with xNAL DTD. Both xNL and xAL are referenced by xNAL DTD. Keeping the name and address standards (DTD) separate, makes maintenance easier in the long run as these standards become truly global". Moreover, when I started looking into using xAL for different type of addresses such as C/O, Military Addresses, addresses with VIA, addresses with NEAR, addresses with multiple subpremises such as (Building->Block->Level->Suite), I had difficulty in representing them with xAL because of some strict rules that were in place. I therefore, did some slight modifications to xAL by relaxing some of the strict rules to represent different classifications of addresses. Please find enclosed a text file consisting of few different addresses that I have tried on xAL. Note that the last two address examples in the file uses xNAL which in turn references xNL and xAL DTDs. The more addresses we start looking into (which we have to), the better these standards will turn out to be. Please go through the documents, specs. and examples and provide feedback. There is scope for tremendous improvements in this specs and this is where the challenge is. Note that the objective of these standards is to enable organisations/customers/users to represent their name and address data in a standard way which will enable them to understand and interchange their data across their systems, tools, platforms, etc. The standards must provide enough flexibility to users to represent their data in a consistent way. The standards are not developed to fullfil the rules and regulations set by the postal authorities or postal unions of countries. However, flexibility should be provided in the standards for such rules and regulations to be applied and at the same time help businesses using name and address data to define their data in a uniform and consistemt manner.
