Hi Paul,
I understand your frustration with Kavi, and yes,
OASIS staff is working hard to craft a solution that will be stable for years to
come. Existing file naming and location conventions are all over the map; we
need a repeatable set of production rules that will not only provide predictable
and persistent URLs but ensure that our standards are easily accessible to the
public at large. This is just one piece of the larger document management issue
(which is just one piece of the larger TC support infrastructure) which we
are currently working to resolve. I can't speak to past practices but want to
assure you that Jamie and I - TC Admin - consider this a top
priority.
Regards,
Mary

If "OASIS" is defining rules, then "OASIS" should be
asking the
OASIS members for input and opinions. "OASIS" has
done stuff
in the past that has caused serious negative impact on TC
work
(e.g., Kavi in general), and it would be nice to avoid
similar problems
in the future.
Why doesn't "OASIS" (whoever they are) work with its own
membership
more in such technical areas?
(Apologies if there has been a request for input on this
issue and I missed it.)

Hi everyone,
OASIS is in the final stages of defining a set
of production rules for persistent URLs along with URNs to be used by all
OASIS standards. These should be finalized in the next few weeks, so there's
no need for the TC to spend cycles on defining specific URIs. Don't
panic - we will continue to support all existing
URLs/URIs/URNs.

Mary
