[infod-wg] Issue 21 - How should vocabularies appear in the spec and in which levels

[Dieter Gawlick]

A  generic vocabulary management will not be part of the INFOD 
specification.

The INFOD registry, however, will support elementary vocabulary 
functionality.

    * The INFOD registry will be able to determine which objects support
      which vocabulary by comparing the vocabulary type (e.g., XML, SQL)
      and the name of the vocabulary.
    * If a vocabulary represents an XML schema and an expression is
      within the boundaries of XQuery, the INFOD registry will be able
      to determine if an expression is valid.

Additional vocabulary support has to be given by the publishers (and 
maybe) the subscribers. If an expression references a non-XML 
vocabulary, publisher will be requested to validate the expressions

There will be no support for vocabulary transformation; a publisher will 
not be identified even if the publishers could provide information when 
using a transformation. This function will be deferred until there is a 
generic vocabulary support.
