Schema Changes for OBIX

Based on the last three meetings, I propose changing the XSD definition of “contract” as follows:

 

            <xs:simpleType name="contract">

                        <xs:annotation>

                                    <xs:documentation> This is a contractList, i.e., 0-many URIs. In XSD, it is a string because the collection of URIs follows special serialization rules, i.e., URIs are space separated, and the zero length list is specified as "nil", See the specification for details.</xs:documentation>

                        </xs:annotation>

                        <xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>

            </xs:simpleType>

 

If this is acceptable, then IS should be changed to be of type “contract” from the type “string” that it is now.

 

Perhaps the same applied to “in” and “out”

 

Is this correct?
