Relationship to ISO 11179

ISO/11179 provides a basis for this work

Not 100% compliant

Will aim to be for data element registration

Schemas are not a data element but a data-dictionary

1111

Classification of Schemas

Proved a difficult problem

No one classification appears to meet requirements

Determined that Multiple Axis Required

Industry, Product, Subject

Classification Experts

URN Addressibility

– URN Scheme for identifying resources• Used notion of FPI• Information we have available

» Registration Authority» Submitting Organization» Name» Version» Language» Type

• URN:XML:RA_ID:SO_ID:Type:Name:Version:Language• e.g.• urn:xml:oasis:documentum.com:xml-

schema:cdna:v1.1:en

Versioning

Versioning of Schemas not under our control

Discuss Issues

Ideal World (Relationships and Mappings)

Every data element would be mapped properly

Everything received would be semantically be mapped

Not real world
