Subject: EDXL-HAVE issues found (for review / answer)


One of our engineers has been looking closely at the EDXL-HAVE standard and has some comments / questions:

 

(1) The XLink schema files distributed by OGC (the Open Geospatial

Consortium) and OASIS conflict.  According to [0], the only present workaround is to edit the schema files locally, which makes me very uncomfortable.

 

(2) My interpretation of the description of the intention of the <BedType> element conflicts with the schema.  The schema is more than happy to accept this snippet in an otherwise valid EDXL-HAVE document:

 

      <have:BedCapacity>

      <have:BedType>MedicalSurgical</have:BedType>

      <have:BedType>OtherIsolation</have:BedType>

      <have:BedType>NurseryBeds</have:BedType>

      <have:SubCategoryBedType>foo, etc.</have:SubCategoryBedType>

      <have:SubCategoryBedType><Ω>γαμμα</Ω></have:SubCategoryBedType>

      <have:Capacity>

        <have:CapacityStatus>Vacant/Available</have:CapacityStatus>

        <have:AvailableCount>20</have:AvailableCount>

        <have:BaselineCount>30</have:BaselineCount>

      </have:Capacity>

      <have:Capacity>

        <have:CapacityStatus>NotAvailable</have:CapacityStatus>

        <have:AvailableCount>999</have:AvailableCount>

      </have:Capacity>

      </have:BedCapacity>

 

In particular, I can't reconcile this with the normative constraints of <Capacity> and <SubCategoryBedType> listed in section 3.2.4 of the standard (and with the non-normative diagram in section 3.1).  To which <BedType> element(s) and/or <SubCategoryBedType> element(s) do the <Capacity> elements refer?

 

Note that the example of <SubCategoryBedType> elements on page 27 of the standard is not valid (for several reasons), and therefore of marginal use as an example.

 

Can these comments / questions get reviewed and answered?

 

Thanks,
