Hi everyone,

As I am sure you are aware, we have been working on the GLUE2 XML rendering over the last 6mths or so.  We are now at a stage where we would like to submit the doc for public comment. The document has changed considerably since the previous version – the XSD is now based on ‘flat’ rendering using ID ref elements (rather than defining hierarchical/nested XSD) and includes abstract elements with substitution groups to model inheritance and extensibility.  Despite the extent of these changes, we have carried over and modified a number of complex type definitions and constructs from the previous (hierarchical) document.

 

With this in mind, a consensus for the author list and for additional acknowledgements is required. Note, given the extent of the changes, I don’t want to submit the doc to public comment with names that I don’t recognise but who have made important contributions in the past. Therefore, can you please let me know your preference/guidance? i.e. whether you still want to be named as an author (or not - you may not agree with the changes) or feel an acknowledgement is more suitable given the changes?  

 

Thanks for any clarifications,

David
