    Subject: Subsetting with UBL and support in ebxml-msg


    Folks in ebMS
    
    Greetings
    
    I've not tried posting before so many thanks if I'm successful.
    
    It seems time to resurface with my interest in payload
    metadata declaration in a message header. With growing 
    development of the need for subsetting of payload Schemas 
    in UBL, for example, I'd like to just get some confirmation of
    the encouragement I received earlier that there will be ample
    means in ebMS 3 to declare use of not only a particular
    set of Schemas in a document but also use of a particular
    specified subset. 
    
    We have come across in UBL the possible need to use not XSD
    but a set of XPaths to define the subset without having to create
    new namespaces. The set of XPaths and accompanying documentation
    will likely be stored with a persistent url but will not be identified
    with a namespace. There may or may not be some kind of urn
    as an identifier of it though (haven't really got that far).
    
    I gather this would be classed as metadata but how structured
    would the metadata be allowed to be (and on the other side of the
    coin, how flexible)?
    
    Sorry I've not been able to glean this from drafts of specs but
    I assume it is a bit of a moving target still.
    
    I gathered too that ebMS 2 had support for this but will there
    be any further support (if needed at all) in version 3?
    
    My further interest will be in how the above facility would integrate
    with specifications using the rest of ebXML but the message
    header seems the main thing.
    
    Apologies if I should have asked this on ebxml-dev.
    
    All the best
