I would like clarification the WSDL 2.0 testcase SparqlQuerySimplified-1G and which schema element declarations should be present in the {element declarations} property of the Description component. I think I had a conversation about this issue with Jonathan and Arthur driving out to Niagra Falls at the July interop. The baseline component model interchange format for this testcase includes an element declaration whose namespace is not inlined or imported within the WSDL document's <types> element. Baseline sparql-protocol-query.canonical.wsdlcm contains this item: <elementDeclarationComponent xml:id="c22"> <name> <base:namespaceName> http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#</base:namespaceName> <base:localName>RDF</base:localName> </name> <system>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</system> </elementDeclarationComponent> This element declaration is defined in a schema which is imported by the <xs:schema> element inlined within the <types> element of sparql-protocol-query.wsdl. However, the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# is not xs:imported directly within the <types> element. According to Part 1, section 3.1 Using W3C XML Schema Description Language: Schema-0016 "A WSDL 2.0 document MUST NOT refer to XML Schema components in a given namespace unless an xs:import or xs:schema element information item for that namespace is present ..." In implementing Woden, I interpreted this to mean that {element declarations} and {type definitions} only contain schema components whose namespace is inlined or imported directly within the <types> element. The Woden sparql-protocol-query.canonical.wsdlcm file refects this, in that the element declaration mentioned above is not present (and Woden is failing the testcase accordingly). However, it may be that the intention of the WSDL 2.0 authors is that ALL global element declarations and type definitions referenceable by XML Schema MUST be included in {element declarations} and {type definitions}, regardless of whether they are inlined or imported directly within <types> or whether they are 'nested' imports within those directly inlined or imported schemas, and that assertions like Schema-0016 only apply when WSDL 2.0 components like InterfaceFault and InterfaceMessageReference resolve their 'element' QNames to ElementDeclarations (but not to the contents of {element declarations} and {type definitions} themselves). Can someone from the working group please explain which interpretation is correct? Thanks, John Kaputin
