Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] How to 'glue' two instances having different schemas?
Mmm. XOP all seems to hinge around the reliability of a URI which references something in a MIME message. How persistent is that URI? It seems to require that the actual MIME message for the payload be archived and be available to downstream processes. How realistic is that in electronic trade? Personally I think there is likely to be less software ability to refer back to the MIME message for its MIME Content-IDs and it seems unreasonable to expect this in systems. It would be like expecting clerks of the paper process to keep all the envelopes, compliment slips, etc for invoices and catalogue which envelope went with which document. This is especially unreasonable if there are all sorts of standards operating for the envelopes and inclusions and again in electronic terms there are likely to be a few using XOP, others relying on use of a StandardBusinessDocument, some using ebMS, some using the WS-stack but many using just XML files attached to secure emails. It would have to be an expensive bit of software to cater for all this if it was important to keep MIME information, as compared to software just having to keep the lowest common denominator - namely the payload XML.
