[codelist-comment] Context/Value Association public review March 2010

Thank you for the opportunity to
comment on OASIS Context/Value Association (CVA).

 

I fully support the latest name change
and welcome the prospect of CVA soon reaching Committee Specification status.

 

I had the privilege, as independent
consultant to the New Zealand Ministry of Education, to trial, recommend,
implement and deploy CVA since its very first draft publication in November
2006. At the time it was known as Draft OASIS UBL Methodology for Code List and
Value Validation (UMCLVV).

 

CVA has evolved organically over the
years.

 

CVA implementation is simple, as well
as upgrading prior CVA implementations (including this latest, backward-incompatible
name change).

 

CVA has reached a mature state.

 

I look forward to CVA becoming a Committee
Specification. Seeing its many benefits, I would expect a wide adoption across
many types of XML implementations.

 

Last but not least, a big thank you to
the OASIS CLR TC for this great initiative and result. Well done!
