Subject: Re: [dita] Suggested TC position WRT XSD usage from DITA 1.3 onward -- Proposed wording


Interesting point. We link to non-normative material currently in the spec; see http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/archSpec/metadata-elements.html#metadata-elements where we link to the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.

Best,
Kris

Hi Fredrik,

I agree with the link. The only question I have is procedural. Does the link need to be labeled as non-normative, or is that assumed for links?

Best regards,
Dick

Yes, looks good. This does not sound too negative when it comes to using
XSD with DITA, which is good for XML editors that work with XSD only, like
ours.
Also, I would indeed be in favor of including the link to the RNG-to-XSD
generator, since I do not think everyone reading the spec knows where to
find that.

Kind regards,

Following up on an action from a couple of weeks ago, Don Day and I have
put together proposed wording for this position statement.

Here is our draft:
========
If you want to create a specialization or constraint using the DITA XSD
schema, you need to use the XSD redefine facility. However, this facility
does not allow sequence groups to be directly constrained. Thus, to
support specialization and constraints, it may be necessary to refactor
content models into named groups that can be redefined. In order to keep
the XSD, RELAX NG, and DTD implementations as consistent as possible, the
DITA Technical Committee only refactored those content models that were
required for OASIS-provided schemas. These were the strict task body and
machinery industry task model. The other DITA content models distributed
by OASIS have not been refactored.

You MAY modify the OASIS-provided XSD module to refactor the content
model if required by your constraint. You can either modify the
OASIS-provided XSD module or extend the RELAX NG-to-XSD generation
process [link?] to add your special case. You SHOULD notify the DITA
Technical Committee of your constraint requirement so the TC can consider
adding the required refactoring to the OASIS-provided XSDs.
=========

Please look this over for technical accuracy and clarity.

Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
