Subject: [regrep] Proposed change to Classification Infomodel


Dear colleagues,

Nikola and I have had discussed in-depth thoughts on refining the last
changes we agreed upon for Classification Infomodel.

Here is a summary of what we suggest refining:

    * Use nested Parent elements inside a ClassificationNode to
      reference parent TaxonomyElement instead of using HasChild
      Associations from parent to child.
          o It is more similar to when we had a single parent attribute
            in ClassificationNode
          o It is more obvious a schema
          o It may (or may not) be a more efficient schema to implement
    * Add statement that nested ClassificationNode syntax would be
      supported as a convenience but only with single inheritance
semantics
    * Retract suggestion to make Classification a sub-class of
Association.
          o Impact of breaking backward compatibility in this area is
            not worth the gain.

The revised proposal is at wiki page:

<http://wiki.oasis-open.org/regrep/documents/plan/regrep4/classification
Model>

Note that last agreed upon changes are retained for now under heading
"Current Decisions for RegRep4".

I would like to get agreement on proposed changes. Once we agree we can
update wiki to reflect new agreement status of proposal.
Lets discuss via email and if needed at next meeting.

BTW, my notes say we are meeting on this Wednesday at 11am ET/ 8AM/PT
instead of this Thursday as a one time thing. Please let me know if that
is a mistake.

Thanks.
