Specfification text re taxonomies

[Andrzej Zydron <azydron@xml-intl.com>]

Hi Everyone,

The following is my (draft) text regarding code verification in the 
Trans WS spec:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The model for schema enabled presentation and validation of code list 
for country code, languages and content domains is based on the OASIS 
UBL recommendation "Universal Business Language (UBL)
Code List Rules" 
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/ndrsc/archive/wd-ublndrsc-codelist-01.pdf)

The UBL Code List Rules recommend the "Multiple Namespace Types Method" 
whereby the elements that represent a code from a particular list are 
bound to types that may have come from an external organization's schema 
module.

The instance of each code instance is related by namespace to the 
validating schema document e.g.:

<doc xmlns:iso3166="http://example.iso.org/schemas/CountryCodesISO3166.xsd";>
<langCode><iso3166:CodeContentType>US</iso3166:CodeContentType></langCode>
</doc>

The Translation Web Services specification defines the following code 
verification schemas:

1) CountryCodesISO3166.xsd for ISO 3166 Country codes.
2) LanguageCodesISO639.xsd for ISO 639.2 language codes.
3) TransWSDomains.xsd for translation specific domain classifications 
based on ATA (American Translators Association) list of domains.

These schemas will be hosted by <TBA> and can be referenced by the 
following URL addresses:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please can everyone sense check my text in case I have made any 
mistakes. I have also asked Mavis Cournane of the OASIS UBL TC to kindly 
check as well.

Regards,

AZ
