Subject: My comment on the geo-oasis namespace URI
Rex, This is a clarification in response to your question on my comment about the geo-oasis namespace URI (now issue #532). My comment says that the namespace URI is "incorrect". By that, I did not mean that it is syntactically incorrect, but that it does not comply with the OASIS rules for the creation of namespace URIs [1]. The URI in question is: http://www.oasis-open.org/oasis/10 Given that in many other cases, URNs have been chosen by the EM TC as namespace URIs (e.g., "urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:EDXL:RM:1.0:........", it is not clear why the above form has been chosen for the geo-oasis namespace URI. Also note the following statement in [1]: "URIs intended for use as HTTP scheme URI namespace names should be formally identified by the TC (as early in the specification design process as possible) so that the OASIS TC Administration may check for possible naming collisions, approve the proposed resolution target resource [namespace document], and properly reserve the URI - including possibly reservation of (all) space below the hierarchical level of the candidate NS URI". Has the above been done? Note also issue #562, which says that the geo-oasis schema needs to be published as part of an (OASIS) standard--either in the EDXL-RM standard itself, or in any other (OASIS) standard. Otherwise, EDXL-RM cannot make normative use of it. Alessandro ---------------- [1]: http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/namingGuidelines/resourceNamingCom mentaryV07.html#NamespaceDesign
