Re: [ws-rx] NEW ISSUE: XML Namespace URIs





In the WS-Notification and WS-Resource Framework specifications we have 
adopted a more concise version of the URIs. This was to avoid bloat of 
things that embed the uri, like wsa:Action MAPs. We also chose to omit the 
date, and instead append a version number that increments if and when the 
namespace changes incompatibility (I know this is an area where there can 
be much debate). 

Also the current draft of the naming guidelines states that URLs SHOULD be 
rooted at the docs domain, and the tcShortName MUST be the next node in 
the URL after the base.

Have you considered using the WSN / WSRF convention? It would mean that 
the namespace URIs would be

xmlns:wsrm=?http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrx/rm-1?
xmlns:wsrmp=?http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrx/rmp-1?

[ws-rx] NEW ISSUE: XML Namespace URIs






Title: XML Namespace URIs 
Description: We need to decide upon the normative XML namespace URIs that 
must be used by implementations of these specifications.
Justification: Self-evident.
Target: all
Type: editorial
Proposal: The namespace URIs for WS-RX-defined schemas should be URLs that 
resolve to RDDL documents that provide information about the schema as 
well as links to the corresponding specification(s). Per OASIS guidelines, 
the RDDL documents must be hosted by OASIS. Therefore the exact URL values 
will need to be co-ordinated with OASIS but, in general, they should look 
something like the following:
xmlns:wsrm=?http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ws-rx/wsreliablemessaging-200507.html
?
xmlns:wsrmp=?http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ws-rx/wsrmpolicy-200507.html?
Note that the ?200507? in the URL is represents the schema version as a 
date (July, 2005).
