Subject: Metadata for code lists in schemas
Hi folks,
I'm looking at the files created by GEFEG:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=19139
I note the following metadata for the code lists
(using ContainerSize as an example only because
it was this one that was invalidly produced that
brought this problem to my attention):
<xsd:attribute name="listURI" type="xsd:anyURI"
fixed="../codelist/gc/ContainerSizeTypeCodeType.gc"
use="optional">
The attribute is optional, but if it is specified
it has to be a fixed value, and the value specified is a *relative* URI.
I think this is incorrect. The code list
genericode files are not considered part of the
schemas so when someone installs their schemas
these files will not be around, and anyway I'm
guessing a relative URI would be relative to the
instance which also would not have the genericode files around.
I think relative URI values are inappropriate for
*identifying* URIs ... yet we don't have absolute
URIs for our genericode files to use here.
Does this value have to have a fixed value?
Can we leave the attribute merely as optional and without a fixed value?
And, on further inspection, I now note there are
fixed= values all over for code lists, yet the
code list value validation methodology needs
these to all be optional so that we have nothing
hardwired in the schemas regarding code
lists. It is up to trading partners to specify
the metadata of the lists they choose to use.
So ... may I remove the fixed= attributes from *all* code list metadata?
If so, then I can change my massaging stylesheets
to remove the fixed= on all code list meta data declarations.
We can then check the NDRs related to code lists
and make sure future builds come out this way.
Please advise.
Thanks!
