http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5178 Summary: interop criteria when SML compliant documents using different schema versions are exchanged Product: SML Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Interchange Format AssignedTo: cmsmcq@w3.org ReportedBy: popescu@ca.ibm.com QAContact: public-sml@w3.org SML spec describes under section 3. Dependencies on Other Specifications, a floor for schema versions used by SML. It also leaves the ceiling open, which means conforming implementations may choose to use versions higher than the specified floor. The question is whether IF should say anything about cases where exchanged data is SML compliant but the IF producer and IF consumer are using different versions of required schemas. Does this result in interop not being possible ? Or leaves room for the two consumers to try to make it work by adjusting data in such a way that they can understand each other? An an example: one SML model supports XPath 2.0. Data is exported from this model into an IF document for exchange with another SML repository. The target SML repository does not implement XPath 2.0. In this scenario we deal with two conforming SML models but since they use variations of the same schema, interop is not possible at least in one direction.
