Subject: RE: [relax-ng] suggested datatype library types
A datatypeLibrary for ebXML will probably be quite useful in the business domain but I don't think it falls under the charter of the RELAX NG TC to produce one. James and Kohsuke have already produced a vendor-independent interface for creating datatype libs for RELAX NG. See http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/jing.html and/or download http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/datatype-sample.zip. Should make the work easier for a seasoned Java programmer.

My sense is this is ebXML - since if ebXML can be more easily implemented and supported using RELAX than schema - then you have a compelling argument for adoption. I would like to offer out therefore that we develop an ebXMLdatatypeLibrary - that is specifically tuned to eBusiness processes. While this may be boring as dishwater from the theoretical stance (maybe not!) - it would give RELAX focused users. Actually I suspect that creating the library will be interesting since we need concise and precise here to ensure uniform behaviour. Notice DATETIME is one area where the W3C approach gives undeterminate result sets for certain conditions / comparisons - fixing that would certainly be a plus - and then giving people all the common business types directly - means easier implementation. Thoughts? Thanks, DW. ================================================================ Message text written by Michael Fitzgerald > For the sake of discussion, here is a list of types -- taken from the list of 44 XML Schema datatypes (simple types) -- that I think would be essential in a RELAX NG datatype library (a): string, token, int, long, short, double, ID, IDREF, IDREFS And I think the following would be nice to have (b): normalizedString, byte, integer, decimal, boolean, Name, QName, NCName, anyURI < ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
