Hi all,

Following OGF 35 I have produced an updated draft of the XSD: http://tools.ngs.ac.uk/ngstools/glue2proposal/flat.zip

This rendering has a ‘flat’ style and includes the global <Entities> element bag with abstract elements/substitution groups. There are a few choices that still need to be addressed which are highlighted with TODO annotations (please do a search on ‘TODO’ in glue2_2.xsd).  A sample instance document is also provided (glue2_2SampleDoc1.xml).  

 

For the purposes of demonstration, there is also a sample XSD (sampleGlue2_2Extension.xsd) that imports the glue2_2.xsd to define new service and endpoint element types. This shows how future profiles could extend the glue XSD in order to define new sub-type specialisations (also see the sample instance doc, sampleGlue2_2ExtensionDoc.xml).

 

I guess the next step is to do another telephone conf to agree/disagree. If possible, i would prefer to do this before spending too much effort on updating the Word doc.

Cheers,

David
