Re: [cti] RFI & Motion: JSON MTI & JSON Schemas

So what you are saying is the JSON Schemas should not be released as part of the official OASIS work product, but should be released as something else?

Clearly the specification needs to be the official item as example schemas can not be restrictive enough.

Given Chet's statement, I would motion against requiring JSON Schema to be part of the specification, but rather have us release it as an information open-source project.

Thanks,

Bret

Hi folks,

One clarification regarding the OASIS rules in this respect. This is required by https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#specQuality, item 7 'Computer Language Definitions.'

If a specification contains any "normative computer language definitions" whether fragments or in whole then they must be "provided in separate plain text files," those files must be referenced from the narrative text of the specification, and should there be any disagreement between the definition found in the specification and the separate file, the definition in the separate file prevails.

This isn't something the TC can overrule. Your separate computer language file will be the normative, definitive version.

I agree that an non-normative schema is required before final vote of
the specification.. I said exactly that in my comments when I voted
for JSON to be MTI...

But as John said, Pat's question was not about a non-normative JSON
schema, but a _normative_ JSON schema, hence my comments...
