Attached you will find an initial Working Draft document�instance to serve as a starting point and template for:
EDXL RIM - Common Types Version 1.0. Further revisions to this Work Product must�be maintained as in Working Drafts, following procedures�detailed in the TC Handbook [1]. �
Working Drafts should be made available by uploading the�document(s) to the TC's Kavi document repository, or�(provisionally/temporarily) to the TC's Subversion (SVN)�repository, if SVN has been activated for your TC [2].
For each WD revision, you will need to:
1) increment the Working Draft revision (number) from 01 to 02,�03, 04 etc., as successive Working Drafts are produced;�the revision number needs to be updated at the top�of the document in the stage identifier (Working Draft ##)�and in the document identifier within the page footer, e.g.,�EDXL-CT-v1.0-wd02, EDXL-CT-v1.0-wd03, etc.
2) supply the relevant publication/release/upload date�for each successive Working Draft instance, using the��prescribed date format: DD Month YYYY; the date�needs to be updated at the top of the document�(just below the stage identifier, Working Draft ##)�and in the page footer.
3) provide text for a document Abstract, updating this�summary with successive revisions to provide an�accurate description of the subject matter, goals,�scope, etc.
4) keep the Acknowledgments (Appendix A) and Revision�History (Appendix C) up-to-date with each WD revision.
5) consult the OASIS Naming Directives document when�creating new artifacts that may be part of the Work�Product (e.g., image files, XML schemas), observing�the rules for name characters in files and proposed�directories, and for proposed URIs/namespaces [3].
When the TC votes [4] to approve a Working Draft as a Committee�Draft (CSD or CND), the Chair must submit a "Committee�Specification Draft Creation and Upload Request" accessible�on the TC Administration Requests Page [5]. �Upon receipt�of this form, the TC Administrator will process the Work�Product for official publication in the OASIS Library�as a Committee Draft (
http://docs.oasis-open.org/), including�addition of the requisite cover page metadata and other�boilerplate information, as described in the TC Handbook. [6]
