We have yet to deal completely with Schema and
namespace versioning.
(1)
One approach would look like the
following:
Table 1‑1: XML Namespaces in this standard
(2)
An alternate approach would look
like
Table 1‑1: XML
Namespaces in this standard
(3)
Still another, which we seem to
have adopted implicitly is
Table 1‑1: XML Namespaces in this standard
There are then the various approaches which
summarize as “putting v1.0 in place of the 2011 in alternates (1) and
(2)
This is confusing similar to but not identical
to the similar issue of persistence of artifacts. In general, I
recommend that we remain consistent with W3C Guidelines which are
oft-quoted as follows:
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard
versioning
policy, this schema document will persist at
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/xml.xsd.
At
the date of issue it can also be found at
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd.
The
schema document at that URI may however change in the future,
in
order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML Schema
itself, or with the XML namespace itself. In other words, if the XML
Schema or XML namespaces change, the version of this document at
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd will change
accordingly; the version at
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/xml.xsd will not change.
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
This would result in a statement as follows:
In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard
versioning policy, the schemas defined in this specification will
persist in http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/emix/2011/06/.
At the date of issue, each can also be found at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/emix/2011/.
The schema documents at that URI may however change in the future, in
order to remain compatible with the latest version of EMIX
Specification. In other words, if the schemas namespaces change, the
version of these document at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/emix/2011/
will change accordingly; the versions at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/emix/2011/06/
will not change.
