Discussion of Normative/Non-Normative schema languages ------------------------------------------------------ The TC discussed the usage of DTDs, W3C schemes (XSD) and Relax-NG. Some Arguments that were given are: - DTDs are the lowest denominator, but seem to have the widest tool support. - XML schemas seem to have a wide tool support and seem to be prefered by many end users. - Relax-NG seems to be the best choice from the technical point of view (especially because of its capabilities in specifying mixed content models), but might have a limited tool support. - Beside the question which language is best, the interoperability with other schemes and with tools should be taken into account The TC did not come to a concluding decision about the normative schema languages, but reached consensus about the following: The TC prefers Relax-NG as working language, but XSD schemes and DTDs should be delivered as well. The TC expects that the later two can be converted from Relax-NG. Relax-NG features that obstruct a conversion into XSD and DTDs should be discussed previously. A decision which schema language will be the normative one is postponed until the TC has more experience with the schema features that are actually required and the quality of automatic schema conversions. Discussion whether the OpenOffice.org XML specification meets the requirements 1 to 6 of the TC charter ----------------------------------------------------------------- Due the the latest charter change as discussed in the last meeting, a further discussion of this topic was not considered necessary by the TC. New Action Items ---------------- - Uche Ogbuji: Prepare examples of mixed content models that can be expressed best by Relax-NG schemes. Michael Brauer OASIS Open Office XML format TC chair
