Good morning, Anne! Thank you for sending this. Sorry to keep you up so
late last night!
At 2003-09-08 22:16 -0700, you wrote:

Great! I think this straw-man could have gone to the list to get more
input from others.

In an earlier email to you I recommended the use of "definition" perhaps as
in "code list definition files" or "code list definition schema fragments"
to distinguish these files from "code list adjunct files".
>The groups
>(oh, here's another good term for the 'placebo', 'standard', etc - groupings)
But unfortunately they aren't grouped any more if the end user decides to
mix and match a few privates with a few stock and a few placebo.
I see the required adjective as being singular to the individual file
rather than to the collection as delivered, since the collection will be
broken.
>as Tim originally defined them are separated by those yellow/peach lines.

:{)} Please think again about how you feel calling these the "placebo code
list definition schema", "standard code list definition schema", "stock
code list definition schema" and "private-use code list definition
schema". We could then use "stock code list adjunct file" and "private-use
code list adjunct file" for the one we deliver and the one created by the user.

Works for me.

I think that came up in the last LCSC teleconference: the need for a
descriptive "what do you find in the box" document, if not an actual user
manual.

I found in my attachment directory a .sxc and a corrupted .doc file.

I am trying to move "wholus bolus" into Open Office, so .sxc works fine for me.

Wonderful! Well done!
Here are some specific comments:
Summarizing the titles I see:
CodeList Name -> Code List Name
Code List Category -> this should be two columns, see my additions next
UBL Data Type
UBL Base Type -> UBL Base Types? [1]
Used In [2]
Owner [3]
Filename [3]
Delivery Date [3]
Status [3]
There was a post I made that I cannot find where I relate I think we need
to add things like:
Standard or Placebo definition (mandatory decision)
Stock or no Stock available in UBL 1.0 (only if Placebo definition)
Namespace URI (normative)
Namespace Prefix (documentary)
Example values (documentary; only if Standard or Stock) [4]
Code List Adjunct Filename in UBL 1.0 (only if Standard or Stock)
Notes from above:
[1] - given Gunther's paper on namespaces, I think this needs to be plural
[2] - not sure what this is
[3] - when we have more than one code list definition for a code list file
(say "placebo" and "stock"), we need more than one line in the spreadsheet
for status information so that we can track, say, the owner, filename and
delivery status of each definition schema for a given code list
[4] - this is just to give a flavour of the values in the list, the
"placebo definition schema" will just be xsd:token, but the "stock
definition schema" and the "standard definition schema" will have the
normative values
I think the order of the columns should be mandatory/normative stuff first,
then documentary stuff next and status stuff last.
I'm thinking there were others, but danged if I can find my post. A more
public review of your submission should bring out more missing fields.
Thanks again, Anne! I hope this helps.
