[ubl-lcsc] Namespaces in UBL Schemas

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

The 2003-01-22 package I picked up from the list this morning does not 
follow my recommendations in:

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-lcsc/200301/msg00100.html

Looking at UBL_Library_0p70_Order.xsd I see the following:

<xsd:schema
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
    xmlns:bie="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:Order:1.0:0.70.xsd"
    xmlns:ccts="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:CoreComponentParameters:1.0:0.70.xsd"
    xmlns:cct="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:CoreComponentTypes:1.0:0.70.xsd">

The "bie:" prefix does not belong, and the targetNamespace= attribute is 
missing.

 From my earlier message cited above, I believe the document element should 
include:

<xsd:schema
      targetNamespace="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:Order:1.0:0.70"
      xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:Order:1.0:0.70"
       ...

Which can be derived from the configuration file.  Without the above two 
lines, I believe we cannot properly work with the vocabularies.

This observation is in addition to my comment on the phone that the ".xsd" 
extension in the URI strings is unnecessary and misleading.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if my details in my earlier 
post need any explanation.

I hope this helps.
