Subject: [regrep] FW: [chairs] relations with W3C
Message text written by "Breininger, Kathryn R" > Team, Since Karl needs this before our next meeting, please send your comments or concerns about liaison relationships with a W3C working group or other activity to our list, and I will compile the comments by end of day Tuesday and forward them to Karl as a package from our TC. < Kathryn, I guess comments make sense at two levels - one is general and the other is specific to Registry and XML. 1) On the general level it is good that W3C and OASIS are looking to collaborate on fostering XML use and XML based specification development. In the past it has been impossible for OASIS groups to pass technical comments and priorities to W3C WG's to help steer better and more applicable W3C work. 2) Specifically for Registry - on the plus side things like XLink and XQuery are timely and good technologies for underpinning Registry. On the minus side - the W3C schema work is blithely building a parallel universe - that while being extolled for better eBusiness use - infact has some fundamental issues of scale and deployability precisely because they are ignoring ability to interface to a Registry and use technicques like UID to couple to business semantics. Notice by contrast that RELAX provides for type libraries that could use the Registry. Therefore I would like to see W3C schema making changes to their practice and implementation model to take advantage of Registry instead of creating a whole parallel complex and difficult to deploy world of components that would be redundant or simplified with support for the Registry model. Cheers, DW.
