Re: [uoml-x] Fwd: ISO PAS program path, issues

[Stephen Green <stephen.green@documentengineeringservices.com>]

The OASIS ballot did include the schema
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1532

I think maybe the schema just didn't get included on the
docs site http://docs.oasis-open.org/uoml-x/v1.0/os/  . Looks
like it was meant to be there, wasn't it?
It was listed for the ballot as
http://docs.oasis-open.org/uoml-x/v1.0/cs01/uoml-schema-cs01.xsd
and I seem to remember it being renamed, reflecting OASIS standard
status, as uoml-schema.xsd - or should it be uoml-schema-os.xsd?

So I guess we need it added at http://docs.oasis-open.org/uoml-x/v1.0/os/
and http://docs.oasis-open.org/uoml-x/v1.0/

There is a further complexity for ISO path if the maintenance process
once in ISO is at all in doubt - how it might affect a 'security module' which
I thought was to be the next step for UOML. This would, I would think,
be work to progress in the OASIS UOML-X TC. Maybe that would not be
a problem.

Further issue with progressing after any possible ISO acceptance
might be risk of duplicated effort, and worse, risk that there will be
diverging paths of development/maintenance in OASIS UOML-X TC
and JTC1.

Would UOML-X TC members be required to join JTC1 to continue
with any UOML maintenance? Would there be a resource issue with
that and a need to close the TC to prevent duplication?

Would there be any change between what has previously happened
with ebXML, ODF, etc in ISO and what would happen now? I don't
hear of problems for ebXML now it is ISO 15000 so maybe there would
be a chance of no major problems for UOML if it went that way. Could
it be that the high-profile story regarding ODF and ISO was a unique one
less than likely to be repeated. After all it was likely to happen that things
wouldn't all go smoothly in the office document standardisation when so
much was at stake whereas this is less likely to affect UOML perhaps.
Maybe the story might be repeated but it seems very unlikely to me
(I could be wrong of course).

However, does UOML yet have enough of a profile with those who would
be considering it in ISO? If it doesn't, would that be a problem? Perhaps
the problems for ODF, etc were due to the very high profile so maybe lower
profile is good ??

These are the things which spring to mind with me.

Best regards

Steve
