Thinking out loud:
Then we should consider defining a new
element SchemaDescription that can carry a namespace name for an extensions as
well as a ModelTypes (an any) and / or a schemaLocation URI? This could be
added at the ServiceDescription and the PortletDescription to provide type
information on user profiles and any other extension? And customUserProfileItemDescriptions
would just enumerate the namespaces used for profile related extensions.
SchemaDescription
[R]
URI Namespace // match against custom*Items and extensions
[O]
ModelTypes ModelTypes
[O]
URI schemaLocation
ModelDescription seems too property
related. We may want to consider such schema description support for
coordination too.

Subject: RE: [wsrp] User Profile
Items - Draft Proposal
I would agree that it is misleading to claim
UserProfile is not extensible in v1 as extension points exist at every level in
the hierarchy, including the base. What was accepted as an issue at the F2F is
that there is no means to exchange type metadata about custom user profile
items. I could see ModelDescription as a good candidate for how to exchange
this information, but do not see a need to change the way such items are carried
at runtime (i.e. as extension elements).

RE: [wsrp] User Profile Items - Draft
Proposal
It's
a bit miss leading to claim UserProfile elements can't be extended
in 1.0. While I'm not opposed to using properties
as a extension
mechanism, I think the intent was to allow each of
the UserProfile
sub-elements to be extensible? E.g. EmployerInfo
could carry standard
codes for type-of-business in an extension element
using some existing
XML schema. Therefore, would it not be better to
leave custom values to
XML as an extension, at the appropriate level,
relying on namespacing,
rather than forcing a property model to be in use
at the profile level?

Andre

Proposal
One of the action items at the last F2F was for
Richard and me to
propose a fix to the user profile related
inconsistencies in the V1
spec.
I'm attaching a note on this for your review.
Since Richard is out sick,
I would appreciate if someone from IBM checks to
see if it meets his
concerns and use cases.
