Hi Again, Robin,
I don't have an entry in my email archive from you in reply to this
message, sent two weeks ago, so I am resending it. I suspect I may have
inadvertently missed your reply, but if you could resend it or put it on
your to-do list, I would appreciate it.
It's been a busy time, Rex Robin:
At our EM TC Reference Information Model (RIM) subcommittee meeting
today, we discussed the need for confirmation of the integrity of
downloaded documents (schema, zip files, etc.) using a checksum or other
approach. This agenda item came from Martena Gooch's excellent
suggestion that we provide a solution and which then resulted in some
email discussions. Although there are probably various approaches, our
thought was that it might be best to consider first the OASIS staff
recommendation, since the downloads will be from the OASIS site.
In one of your emails, you mentioned that OASIS has a requirement in
hand to do something better than just zip crc for hash/digest, maybe MD5
or other solution. So I was wondering if you would like to take the lead
on this, consult with members as needed, and make a recommendation.
This will ensure that the solution matches the OASIS requirements and
policy, which should help with the transition.
--Rex
