Subject: Normativeness and conformance regarding data model and W3C Schema expression
During today's UBL coordination call the issue of the relative weight of the code list data model and the W3C Schema expression of the code list data model was discussed. I've been swayed by Mark's contentions that, indeed, the normativeness and conformance of the W3C Schema expression is the objective of CLSC and not any measure of normativeness or conformance to the abstract data model. *How* that will work will parallel that of UBL itself, which is still under discussion and I'm sure we could contribute to that discussion with our perspective regarding conformance of W3C Schema expressions to our data model. Should other organizations utilizing other technologies wish to adopt the OASIS UBL CLSC abstract code list data model for their use, they would, respectively, come up with their own measures and metrics of normativeness and conformance of their expressions. This still puts pressure on us to come up with a robust abstract data model and, as Tony put forward, an XML expression of that data model from which we can derive the W3C Schema expression (thus proving the data model suffices our needs) and other organizations can derive their own expressions (hopefully not needing addition requirements we don't have, but we can't let that delay us). So, I've been convinced that the data model and the W3C Schema expression of that data model belong as sibling chapters of the document, just as Marty has been doing to date. Should any other member still hold the perspective I previously held that the body of the document would have the data model and an annex of the document would have the W3C Schema expression, please take the time to give your thoughts on this, otherwise I'll assume the issue has been resolved and we can take sign off on this at the next teleconference. ........................
