Ken Greetings. I was really thinking of something which might be more tricky: Having a namespace for the xpath-file schema is probably necessary but then we also need a namespace, I believe, for every list of XPaths (hopefully in XML, hence the relevance of a namespace) for every UBL document type. I'm thinking of a namespace, that is, not applied to a W3C Schema as usual but applied to an XML instance which functions like a schema. It would therefore mean, I think, creating our own root element attribute called namespace and having a uri as its value. This is if we are going to have a set of files in XML which each list the XPaths of the SBS of a UBL Document. It is these files which I'm thinking would need the namespace and possibly version attributes for the root element e.g. <(prefix):(root element name) xmlns:(prefix)="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:sbsc:xpath" namespace="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:sbs:xpath:Order-1.0" version="1.0-beta-2"> We'd therefore still need a set of uri's and appropriate rulings about them - one uri for the namespace of the Schema of the xpaths lists and others for the xpaths list themselves.

Do you mean by this question "can we put the vocabulary into a particular namespace"? Sure, but it will take some time for me to change my Python programs to be namespace aware. Maybe I can just cheat and leave everything in the default namespace since these tools are interim tools until other tools generate the XPath information. >This would appear to be a requirement for citing the SBS >normative documents in such things as BPSS and ebMS >instances. I didn't realize that non-namespace vocabularies were not allowed. Okay, next question ... probably to the SSC ... what are the UBL policies for choosing namespace URI strings for subcommittee projects? Maybe I should ask this of the TC. How about something like: urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:sbsc:xpath ................... Ken -- World-wide on-site corporate, govt. & user group XML/XSL training. G.
