Editing Comments for EDXL 
Distribution elements:

 

1.6 Should Section 1.6 have 
references to ISO-8601 format for DateTime, ISO 3166-1 and 2 and UN/LOCODE used 
in the targetArea container element?

 

2.2 This section still refers to 
Message Element rather than Content Object. Suggest replacing all 
occurrences.

 

2.3 There is no content in this 
section.  Can we leave these 
examples until final distribution or should examples like CWID or the 
Golden Gate 
Bridge be added.

 

Update definition in 
<distributionType>:  Could an 
update message only augment with additional information.  I see this especially if a new 
<contentObject> was added or new elements were added to existing 
<namespacedXMLContent> and resent.

 

Every element with uses the type 
“list, value pair” would be more accurately stated as

List, and associated 
Value(s).

Definition of 1. This could read 
“The list, and associated value(s) is in the form

Definition of 2. This could read 
“Multiple instances of the <valueListUrn>, and associated <value> 
(s) MAY occur within a single <container element>”

 

3.2.3 Should add a sentence 
“Additional elements (metadata) used for specific distribution of the 
<contentObject> payload or hints for processing the payload are also 
present in the <contentObject> container element.

 

Based on the definition above 
content description, size, digest elements are all specific to uri, and 
defRefUri and may be better in the choice.

 

I really pondered Art definition 
of what should be in the <contentObject> metadata elements and agree 
location is context about content.  
I feel size and digest will be discussed more tomorrow so I will leave it 
there.

 

3.2.5 Could read “List, and 
associated Value(s) Support”
