[glue-wg] NOTES: GLUE WG teleconference, Tuesday, March 10, 2015

[JP Navarro]

Present: Florido, Stephen, Shiraz, Warren, JP

Meeting notes:

1) LDAP rendering: public comment is closed, discuss next steps
> Previous:
>> Action: Florido will send LDAP schema to merge into document, recommend publish path

>> Action: JP to confirm schemas.ogf.org versus www.ogf.org/schemas/ (prefer schemas.ogf.org)
>> CONFIRMED that we can use schema.ogf.org/ to publish LDAP and JSON schema
>> We do not think there will be technical conflicts for XML, LDAP, and JSON schemas co-existing under the same URL namespace.
>> http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.84.pdf defines standard XML namespace. OGF doesn't have equivalent standards for LDAP or JSON.
>> Schema will be published as "*.schema.ldap"
>> Shiraz/JP review our main wiki page and make sure there are links to all the published schemas.
