Most of these are trivial. One (IS and friends) needs consensus.

The only important one, and I think we touched on it in the call, is the one about the is, in, of, and out attributes. These are not of type “contract”, they are of type “contract list”, which is a space-separated list of one or more contracts. Unless “contract” is defined as that?

1) It could be of type obix:List, and be conformed to only contracts

2) It could be a set of 1-many contract objects

3) Alternately, a single object could have multiple IS object, but one element have multiple instances of the same attribute strikes me as bad practice.

I think Craig has suggested (1), but if (2) is non-breaking, it strikes me as a better solution.

Yep – I saw it, and I’ve made a few comments to Toby on it. I’ll include those here, if it helps.

A couple comments on the xsd:

· nit: line 74: oBIX -> OBIX

· nit: line 12: elment -> element

· nit: line 15: validitiy -> validity

· line 221: If the ‘is’ attribute defines the contracts implemented by the object, should it be a contract list rather than just a contract? This also applies to in, of, and out, according to Section 7.2.

· nit: line 354: oBIX -> OBIX

Craig -

Toby had posted a "wd36.1" for review on 27 October or so - notice sent to the list.

I think that's the one to include.

Thanks!

Hi all-

Here is the meat of WD37, the spec doc in Word and PDF format. It contains the changes we discussed in the TC call last week as well as over email this week. I did not have the WD37 XSD file. If the WD36 XSD is fine, I will rename it to WD37 and submit a formal WD37 doc, but this is fine to read in the meantime, so we can be prepared to vote on it Thursday.
