I’m opposed to this proposal. It ends all backwards
compatibility.

Subject: [search-ws] oasis xml namespace names
I
am going to have to change the namespace names in our schemas, according to
OASIS rules. See below.
I've
tentatively changed them to:
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-2-0-response"
xmlns:diag="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-2-0-diagnostic"
xmlns:facet="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-facetedResults"
xmlns:sra="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-searchResultAnalysis"
xmlns:xcql="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/xcql"
Let
me know if you see any problems with this. Or if you prefer different (base)
names before these are cast in stone.

OASIS standards
Hi Ray,
Actually we require that. All schemas must be
included as separate plain text files and those files take precedence over
anything incorporated into the specification document.
What you're going to need is an OASIS http
namespace for your schema(s) and to provide an accompanying namespace document
(on the docs.oasis-open.org/templates
page) that points to all of the resources.
All OASIS namespaces begin with
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/{namespace
of your choice}
Let me know if you have more questions.
Regards,
Mary

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.

Hi
Mary,
I'm
not sure who to ask this, perhaps you could forward to or suggest someone
appropriate.
Our
SRU document, the latest draft of which is at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/search-ws/download.php/37433/sru-2-0-april-22-2010.doc
includes
several XML schemas, currently in Annex D, a normative annex. And
there are normative references to these schemas.
My
question is, can these schemas, actually Annex D in its entirety, be
non-normative, that is can the schemas be maintained outside of the
standard. I can go into the long details of why, later if you'd
like, the short explanation is that it will make life easier. (But
if it is not permissible we can live with that.)
Thanks.
