RE: [election-services] Just how simple can you make EML 440 cast ballot?

Although the mechanisms are different, both are serving to
localise the schema. They are valid alternatives, each with its own strengths.
So we need to treat them equally.

Paul,

 

I don't see schematron in the same light here.

 

What I'm generating is a pukka standalone collection of XSD-lite subset
schema from the original EML XSD.

 

Actually this has all moved so far beyond what schematron does -
because you have a full up visual editor to select the items you need - then
generate the XSD, instances, documentation, dictionary with CCTS and picklists
for you - that is what I'm seeing in terms of localization packages that people
need.

 

Of course there's nothing to stop someone using a schematron to
supplement all this list as well to do additional edit checking on instances.
I'd not even got to the point of using the CAM validation engine in that
context!

 

Yikes!  Shows that its good to have a raft of tools available
to help accelerate use of the EML.

 

Thanks, DW

David,

 

We need to be careful. At your request a while back we downgraded
Schematron from “the” way to “a” way to localise. We need to keep a balance.

John,

 

We have a user guide done internally here.  I could excerpt
from that and use EML 440 as example for the screen shots...

 

Could be few page addendum to the V6 doc - Quick start to creating
localizations.

 

Not for idiots though!

 

Thanks, DW

Suggest we produce a simple idiot’s guide on how to use the CAM
template which can be part of the v6 documentation?

Team,

 

People say that EML is too complex.

 

In doing review of V6 so far - I produced the attached.

 

By taking the original CAM template for the V6 440 - and then
excluding away all optional non-essentials - I then generated a subset schema -
of only the remaining parts.

 

Then I output a quick example instance.

 

That subset schema is of course
only a temporary working subset of the original EML 440 - and the sample
instance should validate in the full EML 440 V6 schema itself.

 

I believe this shows that combining V6 with the CAM ability to
quickly create localizations (this took about 30 minutes to do) - you can
create powerful and simple implementations using EML.

 

Will be working on the next complete iteration of V6 draft schemas
and release package for review next week.

 

Thanks, DW
