[Fwd: RE: [regrep] UK Govt regrep requirements]

[Farrukh Najmi <farrukh.najmi@sun.com>]

This thread in the ebXML Registry TC may be of interest to the egov TC:

[1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200309/msg00119.html
[2] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200309/msg00126.html
[3] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200309/msg00125.html

[1] from Paul Spencer poses an eGov scenario from UK govt. and questions 
whether ebXML Registry could be  used for dynamic XML Schema assembly.

[2] (inlcuded below) from Diego includes a link to a paper describing 
how the Finnish govt. has addressed the use case.

[3] from Peter describes how Adobe is addressing eForms use case

It should be noted that both [2] and [3] used the version 2.1 of ebXML 
Registry specs. Version 3 is in teh final stages of being completed and 
has many new features.

It would be good if the members of the egov TC can provide active input 
into egov requirements as the ebXML Registry TC begins work on version 
4. Thanks.

Paul,

Republica is also working with eGov Forms and we have produced a
form assembler pilot for the Government of Finland. Basically, we
extracted the form parts and modeled them as BIEs, according to
CCTS; we used ebxmlrr as our Reg Rep and similar approach to what
is being discussed in the cc-review subcommittee; for assembling/
generating the form, we used a web tool and XSLT + extensions.

You might want to check the case study, currently available at
http://www.republica.fi/lomake/ebXML_CaseStudy_eGovForms.doc.
There is also an online demo of the Assembly tool, available at
http://www.republica.fi/lomake/ (Pages in English, BIE content
in Finnish).

Regards,
Diego Ballve
