ebBP 4/5/2006: Suggestions for web site layout of version 2.0.3documents for Committee Spec (please read)

[Monica J Martin <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

This is the discussion Dale and I had together and with OASIS 
yesterday.  If you have any comments or questions, please post at your 
earliest convenience. Thanks.

Thanks, Dale and Monica.  I think we have the details clearly
in hand now so that we can have a couple critical discussions
with the IT people, and discuss internally the idea of
changing the redirect from the Namespace URI to a succession
of different (versioned) schema files.

At the system level, I have no problem with that proposal.  As
indicated earlier, I think the hardwiring of the NS URI to
the schema puts the application at greater risk as far as
schema versioning issues are concerned: using namespace
documents (other than XSDs) provides some added documentation
features and protection against incorrect inferences that
you might want to prevent from being drawn.  But that's your
choice.

Also, we're rather in the middle of time with respect to
matters of namespace versioning, schema versioning, the
relationship between the two, structured namespace documents,
etc.  Your experiment is as valid as anyone else's.

If Mary thinks the proposed NS URIs are OK (I have not talked
to her about it yet), she will send confirmation so that your TC
build on them with confidence:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-bp/ebbp-2.0
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-bp/ebbp-signals-2.0

Best wishes.
