Hi RWGers,
Officially, the RFC period for StandardsRegExt ends May 14 (see
http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/StandardsRegExt10RFC);
however, we'll probably keep it going to a little past the Interop meeting
next week. Then it will be on to the TCG review.
We did get one set of good comments so far from Mark Taylor, and I thought
I would highlight one recommendation that Mark made that the authors agree
with. It's minor, but it does actually require changing XSD schema file.
Section 3.1.1 indicates how, when describing a standard, one can indicate
the "endorsedVersion" of the standard. This element includes an optional
attribute, "status", with controlled values: "rec", "prop", "wd", and
"n/a" (for Recommendation, Proposed Recommendation, Working Draft, and not
applicable). To match current usage in the IVOA, we want to change "prop"
to "pr".
I don't believe that there are any instances using the posted
StandardsRegExt schema out there in the wild, and even so, such a change
is likely to have very little impact; nevertheless, if anyone is aware of
an actual use of the schema that might be affected by change, note it to
the list.
cheers,
Ray
