Re: [uddi-spec] Schema for taxonomies

Title: Message

Dear committee,

 

I'd like to seek your opinion if the enhancement I 
propose in the attached document is worth our attention.

Please, feel free to say that it's all crap and we 
have bigger problems to solve.

 

See my initial question and Luc's response down 
below for quick background information.

 

The attached schema was developed for an 
in-house solution based on UDDI and it is just to give you an idea how the 
schema may look like. This schema is documented from inside. Please, use an 
advanced XML editor to see the documentation tags.

 

I also included an small sample XML file that 
describes a taxonomy.

 

Regards,

Max,

  
 

  
Unfortunately, there is nothing that has been 
  published by the UDDI.org Working Group or this TC to date. This is 
  clearly an area that deserves some attention. 
  

  
 

  
To support the needs of Microsoft's UDDI customers, 
  Microsoft has created a schema and an API to navigate and retrieve valued from 
  a given value set. The API is entitled the 
  get_relatedCategories. The schema used 
  to support these value sets is available at http://uddi.microsoft.com/extensions.xsd. 

  
 

  
We've recently published an article that describes the API and the 
  schema. You can access the article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnuddi/html/travtreeuddi.asp. 
  You might also want to look at a companion article at 
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnuddi/html/impmetadata.asp.

  
 

  
Hope 
  this helps

  
Luc

Dear committee,

  
 

  
Do we have a schema to describe a taxonomy 
  with all parent-child relationships, possible values and all? 

  
 

  
Did I overlook it? 

  
 

  
Cheers,
