If they can't resolve a URI, how do they plan on validating the message against a schema? > * Want to be able to generate organization chart.

Believe we have put in > information that is needed by ISVs software companies should > review I am not personally aware of any official or de facto XML standards for organizational charts, and agree this would be nice. Once in an XML format, it becomes easy to apply a transformation to create an HTML, SVG, etc. representation of that - the "org tree" drawing things we have all come to love and enjoy. That being said, might I recommend someone who has Visio 2002 create a simple org and save it in XML format, which is a Visio output option? Not saying we will use that, but it might provide some insight on how to best do it. This could, in turn, spawn a bigger question on whether or not we need to focus a couple of people on the task of really doing some research and getting back to the ICS team. > * Tap into some Vcard standard that already exists? (Art). May > have to extend Vcard standard (David) Ahh, one of the inherit beauties of using XML Schema to define our schemas (hmmm, that was technically correct, but sounded redundant - oh well :). You do not need to "extend" it. Just import in the "Representing vCard Objects in RDF/XML" schema (http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf) for the vCard specific stuff and then define, or import from yet another schema, any other items you need. > * Will need to be able to handle an org chart sketch (filled out > template) Maybe a better way to approach this is, "will need a way to enable an org chart to be show visually rather than in raw XML." For instance, be able to link in a supplied XSLT transformation that can convert the XML, depending on the type of request (HTML, SVG, etc.), appropriately. > * SC: Anyone can find supporting structure for V-Card > (want to look at existing one before creating one) http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf Sounds like a great meeting! You guys are really touching on some important topics and architectural (in terms of how to architect, or design, a good schema) issues. Keep it up! Allen -- R.
