http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4865 Summary: clearly doc requirements for defining a reference scheme Product: SML Version: unspecified Platform: PC URL: http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/sml/actions/81 OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Keywords: needsAgreement Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core+Interchange Format AssignedTo: cmsmcq@w3.org ReportedBy: johnarwe@us.ibm.com QAContact: public-sml@w3.org refs: smlif 3.3.2 P 1,4; smlif 3.3.3; sml 3.3.1, 3.3.2 all section numbers based on submission copy There is a muddled distribution of content on the SML-defined schemes between the two specs. I think a better approach would be to: 1. Define what a scheme definition must contain (in SML 3.3 or a separate document entirely, possibly a Note... the SMLIF-imposed reqt pattern could occur again, and I'd like to not have to rev SML for it). - MUST the content comprising/marking the scheme, e.g. sml:uri - MUST where the scheme's content occurs, e.g. child of reference element; probably should ALWAYS be "where, wrt the ref element" - SHOULD whether or not the scheme MAY/MUST/etc be interpreted as an SML-IF reference (SMLIF 3.3.2 defines normative rules if they are not explicit) 2. Define the sml:uri and sml:EPR schemes, current sections, making sure above conditions are satisfied. 3. Add to SML 3.3.1 the fact that its semantic includes the implication that it can be dereferenced using the default action for the scheme (as stated in SMLIF 3.3.2 P 4) so the two sections agree. 4. SMLIF 3.3.3 P 1 S 2 end, add reference to SML 3.3. 5. SMLIF 3.3.3 P 1 S 3 end, add reference to SMLIF 3.3.2 6. SMLIF 3.3.3 change heading "that are not" to "may not be" 7. Re-write SMLIF 3.3.3 P 1 (new text) SML [1] defines two reference schemes, the URI reference scheme and the EPR reference scheme; it also permits new reference schemes to be defined without limit. Reference schemes MAY be inter-document references in the context of SML-IF [SMLIF 3.3.2]. Three consequences flow from this. 8. Re-write SMLIF 3.3.3 P 2 (new text) First, to successfully interchange models using reference schemes that are not inter-document references in the context of SML-IF, each reference element must be represented using least one reference scheme that IS an inter-document reference in the context of SML-IF. For example, [... rest of existing example]. 9. Change SMLIF 3.3.3 P 3 "of ... [end of sentence]" to "must agree on at least one reference scheme that is an inter-document reference in the context of SML-IF for each reference element in the interchange set." 10. Change SMLIF 3.3.3 P 4 "sml:ref" to "reference" 11. SMLIF 3.3.2 work in the fact that something may also be an inter-document ref (or not) if explicitly declared by its reference scheme definition. If the ref scheme definition does not make any such declaration, the ref scheme's content is treated as ordinary content under the rules above for xs:anyURI.
