HAVE2.0 Data Dictionary

[rexbroo <rexb@starbourne.com>]

I apologize being late with this but I hadn't actually joined the EM 
HAVE SC, so I had to do that just to send out my proofed version of 
Patti's latest revision of the specification.

So I only read Darrell's post a few minutes ago and I thought I should 
clarify a couple of things that could get a touch sticky with the plan 
to use the auto-generated pdf diagrams of Oxygen working with the schema 
to avoid our inevitable human errors.

I think there are work-arounds but the main sticking point is that we 
are on the hook to make it possible for TCAdmin to generate html from 
our editable source document. Hence either Word .docx or Open Office 
.odt are preferred. That makes it difficult to produce editable source 
from the pdf, though I suspect that it is possible to convert pdf 
diagrams into gifs or jpgs and use the material that way.

However, we should be able to put the whole pdf into an appendix by 
itself and avoid any need to cut and paste, and I suspect it will be 
easier to read that way. I am somewhat conflicted with jettisoning the 
old data dictionary just because the other EDXL specifications use it, 
especially if having both is a viable option.

Cheers,
Rex
