So maybe what we need is to ask the XML Schema group to explicitly identify some URIs for us, and explain how those are related to their Qnames. (I had a problem in using a predecessor to EARL - http://www.w3.org/2000/03/earl/ - that I needed URIs for certain ideas expresed by other specs. In that case, I happened to be an editor of another spec, so made sure it explicitly assigned a URI. We can talk to other groups and ask for theese things. And it is a good idea, if we don't have a neat architectural solution. At worst, they say no, and we go back to finding a hack. But at best they say yes, and we all find life easier and more compatible...) cheers Chaals On Tue, 29 Jan 2002, Jonathan Borden wrote: As I said, either use the _predefined_ URIs, and those alone, or else devise your own URIs. As it stands, the XML Schema mechanism and the RDF mechanism for assigning QNames and URIs to pieces of XML are _both_ ad hoc and incompatible. Certainly the XML Schema is more complicated. You argue to proceed. But proceeding without an architectural solution is what created this mess in the first place. Sometimes babies need clean bathwater, else an epidemic of cholera. Jonathan
