Use of Codelist in CIQ - A thought

["Ram Kumar" <kumar.sydney@gmail.com>]

Members,

 

I sent you a list of questions earlier about the things we need to consider

before using Codelist in CIQ. I have a thought. How about we use two versions

of CIQ :

- On using codelist and the other without codelist, but with the current approach

for codelists.

 

Though we will have two versions of the schemas, the XML documents generated

out of the two schemas will still be the same. Except that, one will do one pass

validation and the other will do two pass validation.

 

This gives the flexibility to the users to decide the best approach for them.

 

Let me know your thoughts. The reason why I thought about this idea is because

I am of the view that when users embedd CIQ specs., as part of their application or

other specs., and if they do not use codelist approach to handle their codes, they

will be forced to jsut validate CIQ related data using codelist methodology which

could be a pain for them.

 

Regards,
