RE: Generic Change Tracking draft spec

Thanks a bunch, Robin.  Looks good.

 

As you know, I'd like to see the W3C's Change Tracking group use StratML
files as use cases.  In the meantime, I posted temporarily links at
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/index.htm#WorkResults and more permanent ones at
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/drybridge/index.htm#NAGC

 

I also plan to document your contribution in the StratML Committee's
performance report for 2013:
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/cusson/SMLC2012.xml

Owen,

The sand box is really only to play in! It is for little files to show
interactively how it works. For your files please use the web service:
http://www.deltaxml.com/demo/track-changes/compare/custom/
and the result is as attache to this email. It is pretty-printed for
clarity.

You can also switch to http://www.deltaxml.com/products/core/demo.html and
see the results in an HTML report, which I have also attached.

More would could be done to yield better results, e.g. identifying where
elements can appear in any order (e.g. Value elements?) or where there are
keys to items, perhaps the Name is a key, for example. But perhaps the
results attached are OK for you.

I hope that works for you.

Best regards,
Robin

Robin, I tried using the sandbox to compare these two StratML files --
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/NAGC.xml &
http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/NAGC2012.xml -- but they apparently are
too big.  

 

I tried comparing just the <Value> statements they contain but got this
error message:

The DeltaXML comparison has failed.

Could not parse the input document for the following reason:

.        Content is not allowed in prolog.

What might it take to set up a demo supporting larger files?  Any chance you
might want to support a StratML-specific demo?

Apologies for not being active on the list recently, due to a family
bereavement.

As promised, here is the draft spec for generic XML change tracking that was
developed for OpenDocument originally. Many of you may have followed links
and seen it already, this version is a small update to include reference to
an external representation. The goal would be to have bi-directional and
loss-less transformation between three representations for the same info:
1. Regular XML markup (probably the normative form)
2. Processing instructions (so document is valid against its schema because
all change tracking is in PIs)
3. External representation so change tracking is in another document 

For those of you who would rather see it in action in a sandbox, you can do
so here http://bit.ly/10lc3WQ

Hope you all have a good holiday over Easter.
Robin
