Subject: Proposed Issue: Namespaces for domains and topic types
DITA domains names and topic types currently form a flat
namespace of short words (let’s call them “topic names” as a short
form). Topic names are not grounded in any namespace (e.g. DNS, ISBN) that is managed
on a large scale. Without this grounding, one of two situations is inevitable:
Neither of these situations seem acceptable. Therefore, I
propose that DITA topic types and domain names be somehow connected to an
externally managed namespace such as DNS or ISBN. There are many syntactic ways
that this could be achieved. For example, class attributes could be constructed
like this: class=”- org.oasis.DITA/topic com.ibm.apidoc/apidoc
com.blastradius/DOMAPI “ Or namespaces could express a mapping from domain names to
URLs: <foo xmlns:topic=”http://.../”
xmlns:blastradius=”http://”> <mytopic class=”topic/topic blastradius/mytopic”> … </mytopic> </foo> There are other syntaxes possible. Paul Prescod Blast Radius XMetaL |
