Subject: RE: EDXL-HAVE issues found (for review / answer)
Tim, On the BedType element – please refer
to page 25 - “If a <Capacity> element is
specified, it pertains to the preceding <BedType> or <SubCategoryBedType>
element.” I am not completely sure of your
questions – for each BedType, you can specify its <Capacity> –
I am not sure where the conflict is – please be more specific. The standard
suggests using the <BedCapacity> element to encapsulate BedTypes and its
subcategories. As you may be aware, a number of business rules in a standard
cannot be enforced by schema only. Thanks Sukumar From: Gilmore, Timothy
[mailto:TIMOTHY.D.GILMORE@saic.com] 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, Timothy
