Title: Incorporating TC Name

I'm not sure why I feel compelled to point out that the OASIS Artifact Identifciation Requirements 1.0 does not specify the use of the [tcShortName] in the ArtifactIdentifier. Line 386 of http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/13344/ArtifactIdentificationRequirements-v1.0-wd-15.pdf lays out the formula as:

 

product-productVersion-artifactType-stage-revision-language.form

 

I really don't care if we include the [tcShortName] in the ArtifactIdentifier but I am a little miffed that OASIS would direct us to a set of guidelines that say one thing and latter come back and say another. At the very least they should take an action item to update the guidelines so they don't have to keep doing this to every new TC that makes the mistake of following the current guidelines.

Subject: [ws-rx-editors] Incorporating TC Name

This is regarding the AI I took to work with the editors and create a new issue for incorporating TC name in our metadata, artifacts.

Please take a look at the attached proposal. Consider this only as a starting point if you may.
<<wsrx-air.doc>>
Some background comments:

I was debating with myself whether the TC Name should be wsrx or ws-rx in our metadata. I remember that on the recent call with Jamie, we decided it to be ws-rx. However I don’t remember if there was a good reason for this when we made a decision, or we just didn't pay enough attention to this matter. I personally think that using "wsrx" would be syntax-friendly for constructing other structured strings.

I was also not sure whether we have discussed and decided the location strings. Are we following the convention for location to be - namespace URI + document identifier.[format]?

Comments? We will obviously be presenting this matter for the TC's deliberations by opening a new issue with a concrete proposal. Before that, it will be good to brainstorm with this focused group ….

Thanks,
Sanjay
