Subject: RE: [trans-ws] XLIFF schema

Hi Stephen,
I have a question to add rather than an answer. What do
we do with the phase element which is a child element to the count
element.
Peter,
All,
I'm currently working on modifying the WSTrans XML Schema
document to take account of the count-group issue as recently agreed.
My preference is to reference
and import the XLIFF schema document directly (as opposed to copying the
relevant element definitions into my schema doc). However, when I do that
I am getting errors from my XML schema validator that the XLIFF schema is not
valid. One potential cause of this is the <documentation> elements
that are used in the schema. For example:
<xsd:enumeration
value="paramnotes">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
Indicates notes pertaining to the parameters in the
<source>.
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:enumeration>
According to my
understanding of the XML schema the <documentation> element accepts any
well formed XML text. This includes straightforward text, and other XML
markup, as long as it's well formed.
The example above is NOT well formed, as you have a <source> tag
within the <documentation> element, but no closing </source>
tag.
To my mind you either have to
supply a closing </source> tag, or escape the angle brackets:
<source> (which is not really readable).
Is this an issue that the XLIFF group is aware of?
I haven't posted this message to the XLIFF group, as I haven't really
followed the discussions there, and don't want to make an ass of myself if this
has already been discussed (or my understanding of XML schema is wrong :-).
BTW, I've been using this schema, as
referenced by the XLIFF homepage:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xliff/documents/xliff-core-1.1.xsd
Anyone know what the score is?
Steve
PS on a separate note, I feel that the namespace that you've chosen for
schema is not ideal:
urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.1.
Most Java based libraries for generating an object-based
representation of an XML schema use the schema namespace as the package name for
the generated classes. The XLIFF namespace does not translate to a valid
Java (or C#) package name - the problem is with the final 1.1.
If possible, I would suggest that you
consider changing the namespace to:
urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:v1_1
