Ballot: UBL NDR 1.0 Committee Draft
Company:
NIST
Vote:
Abstain
Comment:
I am concerned that we have divergence building between the UBL NDR and the ATG NDR, with minimal documentation, at least in Technical Discussions Annexes as to the different "philosophical" design decisions that each group is using as the basis for defining rules.

Unless we address this divergence now and define effective mechanisms for:
1) clarifying to the schema developer community these differences and the underlying "philosiphical principles

2) conducting constructive assessments and adjustments for convergence

we are creating ineffeciences in the development process and jeopardizing broad adoption.
I raised this as a comment on the ATG NDR draft, partially to "force/motivate" a discussion at this week's meetings. Although I am not an expert in this topic, it appears that we do not have as effective a feedback loop as we had hoped for using the results of projects working with the ATG NDR to help guide the refinement to a common NDR document.
