By my reading of the OASIS guidelines (which I didn't find completely clear), the recommended namespace URI for genericode would be http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/ However, for practical reasons, I think we need to add the version number, so that the namespace URI becomes http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/1.0/ Note that this URI does not contain "/ns/" as Ken's suggested URI does. I don't see any place "/ns/" in the recommended format. However, I think the RDDL document for genericode should be located at http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/ and that all URIs of the form http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/M.N/ should be redirected to a RDDL document at http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/ which contains information about all versions of genericode. However, that doesn't give us anywhere in the URL space to locate the Schemas. As an aside, I had a look at the documents in "http://docs.oasis-open.org/", and couldn't find any TCs that appear to be using RDDL, so I couldn't get any inspiration from what other TCs are doing. So, in spite of what is suggested in the OASIS docs, I would actually prefer myself to follow Ken's suggestion of http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/ns/genericode/1.0/ for the genericode 1.0 namespace URI, with this being redirected to a RDDL document at http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/ns/genericode/ We could then have the Schemas at (I would suggest) http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/schemas/genericode/1.0/ so that there is a consistent structure to the URLs. Comments? Do we need to get OASIS to recommend something to us? Cheers, Tony. On Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:42:28 +0100, G. Ken Holman
