We should discuss on today's call. Regards Steve Hanson Programming Model Architect WebSphere Message Brokers Hursley, UK Internet: smh@uk.ibm.com Phone (+44)/(0) 1962-815848 ----- Forwarded by Steve Hanson/UK/IBM on 29/10/2008 11:36 ----- Sandy Gao/Toronto/IBM@IBMCA 03/10/2008 16:33 To DFDL-Technical-All cc Subject SCD and DFDL All, My understanding is that Schema Component Designator (SCD) [1] will become part of the DFDL infoset. The W3C schema working group issued a new draft of SCD on Sept. 10. It may make sense for someone in the DFDL land to review this new draft to see whether it meets our needs. Note in particular that some recent changes to SCD makes it possible to refer to particle components (which was not possible before). This should help DFDL.
