Groups - oBIX 1.1 XML Schema: NIEM Refactoring uploaded

[Chris Bogen<chris.bogen@erdc.dren.mil>]

        Submitter's message
        I THOUGHT that I had already finished work on the NIEM conformant refactor of the oBIX XML schema, but I had to refactor my refactor.

The good news:  This is a conformant NIEM extension schema.

The bad news:  It's a bit disruptive to the original naming of elements.  NIEM specifies that you must use names that begin with uppercase for elements.  That is one of the less restrictive rules.  Also, I had to define many of the val/min/max attributes in separate files/namespaces so that we could use the same names - NIEM restricts the definition of attributes/elements inside a type definition.  All attributes and elements must be defined as direct children of the schema element and used by ref in the types.  

Notice that I am also deriving all complex types from a base that extends ComplexObjectType from the NIEM structures schema.  I'm pretty sure we could squeak by without doing that, so I suggest we axe that extension.  It is implemented here to demonstrate the impact of full compliance if it were a NIEM extension schema.

I included the log of NIEM conformance errors detected in the original xsd.  These results were provided by xmlSpy by way of the NIEM schematron rules.

Enjoy,

Chris Bogen
