Subject: Re: [codelist] Fwd: [chairs] FW: New Specification Templates and Guidelines now Available
Don't mean to spoil the fun but please put me down in the NO column. I intensely dislike the use of http: URIs for xml namespace names - for that matter, for "pure" identifiers in general - identifiers who's sole purpose is to allow two parties to agree that they are talking about the same thing. And I reject the w3c dogma that all identifiers must resolve to something, that there is no such thing as a "pure identifier". XML namespace names should not be dereferenceable, and thus should not be http: In fact, we (Library of Congress) have applied for an 'info:' namespace, see http://info-uri.info/registry/OAIHandler?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc for xml namespace names. Pending approval of that you could coin a URI like this, say, for the codelist schema: 'info:xmlns/oasis/codelist' Simple as that. You can see the list of pending 'info:' namespaces at : http://alcme.oclc.org/wikid/CollectionInfoUriRegistry and in particular the xmlns application at: http://alcme.oclc.org/wikid/CollectionInfoUriRegistry:info:xmlns/ --Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Rasmussen" <BRS@itst.dk> To: <abcoates@mileywatts.com>; "G.
