Subject: Re: [emergency] OGC Xlink schema change - implications for GML profiles


Hi EveryoneI tried to open the FAQ twice and the letter once, but both times it failed, so if someone could send the document as an attachment, I would appreciate it.

Cheers,
Rex

Dear EM TC -
 
For the last 9 months, the OGC members have been discussing a transition from the OGC XLink schema to the new W3C XLink 1.1 schema. Back in 2000 when the OGC first needed XLink for GML, the W3C did not have an approved schema. So, the OGC defined their own schema based on the W3C XLink recommendation. Last year several market forces, such as US Government procurement requirements, dictated that we switch to the W3C XLink 1.1 schema. Last week I developed an overview letter with updated information on the transition. Based on Member feedback, I also wrote an XLink transition FAQ. The FAQ is a living document that I can updated based on feedback and additional information.

The letter is here:

and the FAQ is here:

https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=49563

I am not sure what the impacts might be to the EDXL schema. I do know that GML instance documents are OK and require no changes. The letter describes the location of the OGC beta schemas. The actual transition date is July 21. Apologies for the late notification but the beta schemas were not ready until mid June and the final Member approval just occurred two weeks ago.

Thanks and regards
