Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] Syntax neutral definition of inherited BIEs
Juha Hi. UBL might consider doing this internally; I say might because there hasn't yet been a formal decision about minor versioning, but there might be a need to do this whatever the decision to allow the definition of a minor version with an adaptation of the existing spreadsheets of the content models. So for the timebeing we think we can indeed adapt the spreadsheets to show some sort of inheritance or semantic trail from 2.0 to, say, 2.1. The same, I hope, would apply to any taking a similar approach to customize UBL. Obviously this applies both if you use W3C restriction/extension or whether you just apply the inheritance at the modeling stage and redeclare everything in new schemas (and lose the benefit of a trail with W3C XML Schema syntax, perhaps preserving it in schemas some other way such as with the CCTS documentation, perhaps keeping it in a registry or repository). In short I certainly hope it is not just possible but quite straightforward - enough to allow automation. I reckon it is quite straightforward but what would be the least amount of extra data (columns or rows, say) you would have to add to the model spreadsheet in such a way that a tool (maybe XSLT even, based on the XML content of the spreadsheet file, say) could best pick it up for schema generation.

(So that it would be possible bind those BIEs to W3C XML Schema syntax without human intervention.) Too complicated task?
