Hi, Thanks for all the replies. They bring up two issues, the naming convention, the intent of the initial email and a new topic, the host name for the repository. I would like to discuss them separately. I'll send out another email for the "host name" topic. From Andre's and Costas' replies, both recommends a date format. Also, looking at the OCCI XML scheme for SLA@SOI, they use a date encoding similar to the one described by Costas. From the current votes, the name space, the year and the month are in common with Costas' proposal and the OFG's current scheme. I guess the revision and sub revision are a nice artifacts to have in terms of human understanding of the specification. Functionally, I do believe we will have schemes for multiple name spaces, a new requirement the current OFG convention does not currently address. Andre@ Would the OGF consider extending the naming policy for schemes to include schema name spaces ? Also, would the OGFconsider modifying the current naming rules to make them a little more human friendly, as in Costas' proposal ? BTW, I searched for a OGF policy for naming schemes, I couldn't find one. If anyone knows of one, I'd appreciate a pointer to it. cheers, gary Sam Johnston wrote:

Best, Andre.
Quoting [Constantinos (Costas) Kotsokalis] (Apr 05 2010):
Hi Gary,
How about:
http://ogf.org/occi/[version]/[xsd namespace]/[yyyymmdd-c]
where 'c' is an incremental revision counter that wraps each day? For instance:
http://ogf.org/occi/1.0/XML/20100405-2
The first revision of Apr 06, 2010 would then end with 20100406-1.
Cheers,
Costas

Hi,
I'm writing the xsd files for occi as well as the rdfs definition. We will probably also end up with a number of xsd files, one for occi/xhtml5 another for xml or at the least, different versions of one.
To keep the naming convention consistent, we need to agree on a combining the occi name, occi version, xsd name space (XML, RDFa, etc) and xsd version into a coherent naming rule.
Suggestions are welcome :)
cheers,
