Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Low level versioning
This seems like an opportune time to mention the "Namespace Manager" feature proposal[1] that I sent to the OASIS ebXML Registry TC in January 2002 (I try to bring it up about once or twice a year, to remind folks that it's still out there;) With such a feature, one could register in an ebXM Registry implementation the namespace that each construct (element/attribute/datatype) is associated with, as well as the constructs themselves, with an association between constructs and namespaces. Then, if a schema were to be constructed (assembled) at design time using a UBL schema (perhaps retreived in its entirety, as a "blob" so to speak) and custom (non-UBL) constructs, the resulting schema can reflect the proper versions of the constructs via their namespaces. I've just set myself an electronic reminder to bring this up again sometime, somewhere, this November ;) Joe [1] http://xml.coverpages.org/namespaces.html (search on "namespace manager", or go right to http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200201/msg00061.html to see the archived proposal) Kind Regards, Joseph Chiusano Associate Booz Allen Hamilton 700 13th St. NW, Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20005 O: 202-508-6514 C: 202-251-0731 Visit us online@ http://www.boozallen.com -----Original Message----- From: David RR Webber (XML) [mailto:david@drrw.info] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 10:12 AM To: Fraser Goffin Cc: UBL-Dev; XML-Dev Mailing list Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Low level versioning Fraser, I very much believe versioning is needed to the element/attribute level in an operational environment and using OASIS CAM this is very much attainable / essential. Therefore I'd pro-offer - if this is a key business need - then you can use CAM templates to overlay this fine level of detail over the base UBL schema between you are your partners. As for UBL itself - since the version only changes periodically - on a major release schedule - then the course grained ns approach is probably sufficient. DW -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ubl-dev] Low level versioning From: "Fraser Goffin" <goffinf@googlemail.com> Date: Wed, May 17, 2006 10:00 am To: UBL-Dev <ubl-dev@lists.oasis-open.org>, "XML-Dev Mailing list" <xml-dev@lists.xml.org> There has been some recent discussion in my organisation as to whether there is a need to provide verion information for each element/aggregate in our standard data model. Currently versioning is only visible to implementers on the business transaction level schema (namespace), that is, individual parts are not individually versioned. Does UBL provide individual version information for each business entity, and are each of these visible when entities are combined to form a business transaction ? I have a feeling that traceability to the core data model needs to reflect version, but I remain to be convinced about whether it is necessary at this level at run-time. All opinions welcome.
