Title: Message We don't have a firm rule for expressing versioning information in our vocabulary(s). The 0p70 schemas put version information in the namespace URI. The NDR doc doesn't give a specific format for those -- just says [TBD version information]. In the 0p70 release I don't really understand the system we're using. Here's the Order URN: urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:Order:1.0:0.70 It appears that there are two version components here: 1.0 and 0.70 . In the NDR doc we _hint_ at a major/minor scheme. Is the 1.0 meant to denote a major designator, and 0.70 minor? If those are respectively major and minor numbers, then I propose: * change the number scheme so that the major number is a non-negative integer and the minor number is a non-negative integer That'd make, e.g. the Order urn look like: urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:Order:0:7 That'd be major version 0 and minor version 7. We'd go change the other URN's accordingly. B ill Burcham Sr. Software Architect, Standards and Applied Technology Sterling Commerce , Inc. 469. 524 . 2164
