Took a while, but I've attached a PDF.
- This Introduction discusses SIMPLEST only as a schema (and not as
a profile of SPML). The Protocol section has been removed accordingly.
- The domain model is the same (although I've tweaked the names of
the two entities in the lower-right-hand corner of the diagram:
AccountTemplate and AccountAttribute).
- The Schema section now reflects the object-classes and attributes
from the spreadsheet that I sent to (the list at the time of) the last
Face-to-Face.
- The Conformance section has been expanded. It now discusses
extensions to the standard schema as well as arbitrary (i.e.,
undeclared extensions) object-classes and attributes.
Obviously, this is just a draft, but it fairly represents the current
proposal. This draft should serve as a basis for further discussion.
- I have not incorporated anything from SAP's submission to the
Standard
Schema. I intended to do that, but it took longer than I expected
merely to bring the draft up to date.
- It feels a little weird to propose a standard schema without
specifying a schema language. Perhaps we can show how (operations
using) the standard schema would look in the DSML Profile or SAML
Profile or XSD Profile.
- The language in the Conformance section is still a bit tortuous.
I can make the language clearer, given time, so what I need first and
most is comment on the *ideas* in this section.
