Description
At the May 1st, 2012 meeting of the Infrastructure Framework Subcommittee, the members discussed the following topics:
1. TOPIC: Do we have a final draft of the DE 2.0 specification addressing all comments? (Answer: We now have a draft addressing all remaining comments but we still need to review, approve, and do final cleanup. The last comments addressed include EMFW-6 – confirmed that we're using latest GSF profile, EMFW-5 – RefDateTimeSent remains required, EMFW-4 – xs:anyAttribute is deemed needed and appropriate, EMFW-3 – double importing resolved by using latest W3C Xlink schema, EMFW-2 – a test comment, EMFW-1 – specified cleanup items addressed.)
2. TOPIC EMFW-3: Should we convert to using the latest official W3C Xlink schema? (Answer: Yes. Adoption of the latest W3C Xlink schema will help standardization and help to avoid double importing of Xlink and avoid the need for the additional xlink schema found in earlier versions of the draft DE 2.0 schema. The challenge is that some of the attribute names or group names have changed and the new official schema uses the same namespace as the older schema we and related EDXL standards, like Hospital Availability and GML Simple Features Profile, were using. Consequently, there remain double-import issues until those schema are updated.)
3. TOPIC: What remains to be accomplished before we are ready for resubmission of our draft DE 2.0 specification for final public review? (Answer: 3. Subcommittee members should review the specification to confirm all changes have been implemented to everyone's satisfaction, so we can approve all the changes and close the issues. Then we need to do one last review for cleanup and repackage the schema and documentation into a final zip package for submission to OASIS staff to prep for final 15-day public review.)
