oasis xml namespace names

I am going to have to change the namespace names in 
our schemas, according to OASIS rules.  See below.

 

I've tentatively changed them to:

xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-2-0-response"

xmlns:diag="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-2-0-diagnostic"

xmlns:facet="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-facetedResults"

xmlns:sra="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/sru-searchResultAnalysis"

xmlns:xcql="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/xcql"

Let me know if you see any problems with this. Or 
if you prefer different (base) names before these are cast in stone.

Subject: Re: XML schemas in OASIS standards

Hi Ray,

  Actually we require that. All schemas must be included as 
separate plain text files and those files take precedence over anything 
incorporated into the specification document.

  What you're going to need is an OASIS http namespace for your 
schema(s) and to provide an accompanying namespace document (on the docs.oasis-open.org/templates 
page) that points to all of the resources.

  All OASIS namespaces begin with 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/search-ws/{namespace 
of your choice}

  Let me know if you have more questions.

Regards,

Mary

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're 
open.

Hi Mary,

  
 

  
I'm not sure who to ask this, perhaps you could 
  forward to or suggest someone appropriate.

  
 

  
Our  SRU document,  the latest draft of 
  which is at:

  
 

  
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/search-ws/download.php/37433/sru-2-0-april-22-2010.doc

  
 

  
includes several XML schemas, currently  in 
  Annex D, a normative annex.  And there are normative references to these 
  schemas.

  
 

  
My question is, can these schemas, actually Annex 
  D in its entirety, be non-normative, that is can the schemas be maintained 
  outside of the standard.  I can go into the long details of why, later if 
  you'd like, the short explanation is that it will make life easier.  
  (But if it is not permissible we can live with that.)

  
 

  
Thanks.
