By my reading of the OASIS guidelines (which I didn't find completely
clear), the recommended namespace URI for genericode would be
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/
However, for practical reasons, I think we need to add the version number,
so that the namespace URI becomes
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/1.0/
Note that this URI does not contain "/ns/" as Ken's suggested URI does. I
don't see any place "/ns/" in the recommended format. However, I think
the RDDL document for genericode should be located at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/
and that all URIs of the form
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/M.N/
should be redirected to a RDDL document at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/
which contains information about all versions of genericode. However,
that doesn't give us anywhere in the URL space to locate the Schemas.
As an aside, I had a look at the documents in
"http://docs.oasis-open.org/", and couldn't find any TCs that appear to be
using RDDL, so I couldn't get any inspiration from what other TCs are
doing.
So, in spite of what is suggested in the OASIS docs, I would actually
prefer myself to follow Ken's suggestion of
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/ns/genericode/1.0/
for the genericode 1.0 namespace URI, with this being redirected to a RDDL
document at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/ns/genericode/
We could then have the Schemas at (I would suggest)
http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/schemas/genericode/1.0/
so that there is a consistent structure to the URLs.
Comments? Do we need to get OASIS to recommend something to us?
Cheers, Tony.
