I, for one, don't know enough about the design of the OAGIS vocabulary to follow the discussion beyond the surface level. There seems to be some implication that the Get and Personnel modules import or include some common sub-modules. Is that right? Also is there some issue here regarding: into which namespace are Get's definitions placed (and same for Personnel). Again, I don't have the background. If anyone understands the deeper issues, please illuminate. Thanks! Bill
