Subject: Re: [uddi-spec] Use of UDDI.org as a means of promoting TC, UBR, Std Group and Consortium tModels and Value Sets
Luc, it all makes perfect sense and I think the TC
should not stay away from this activity.
I have an old question, tho...
What's behind a tModel for taxonomy?
How can I find out the content
of a particular taxonomy?
It is not enough to just publish a tModel. It gives
no information what data is behind the tModel and gives no option for private
implementation of a UDDI server to replicate the taxonomies on site. Neither it
allows a UDDI client / browser to browse the taxonomies, even if the tModel is
published on UDDI.org
If we are going to discuss publishing of the
tModels, would it make sense to come up with a temporary schema for taxonomy
description and give everyone access to the content of the taxonomies in
the meantime?
Almost every UDDI vendor has its own schema for
import/export of taxonomies. We could combine their experience and produce
something simple until v.4 delivers more powerful taxonomy management.
My suggestion:
1. produce and publish a non-normative schema for
taxonomies
2. publish the schema with necessary documentation
on UDDI.org
3. publish XML files with taxonomy content on
UDDI.org as specified by the schema
Not sure there is any interest for our TC to do so,
but I thought it would be a good idea ...
Cheers,
Max
