[occi-wg] Naming format for occi xsd file

[Gary Mazz]

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies.  They bring up two issues, the naming 
convention, the intent of the initial email and a new topic, the host 
name for the repository. I would like to discuss them separately. I'll 
send out another email for the "host name" topic.

 From Andre's and Costas' replies, both recommends a date format. Also, 
looking at the OCCI XML scheme for SLA at SOI, they use a date encoding 
similar to the one described by Costas.

 From the current votes, the name space, the year and the month are in 
common with Costas' proposal and the OFG's current scheme. I guess the 
revision and sub revision are a nice artifacts to have in terms of human 
understanding of the specification. 

Functionally, I do believe we will have schemes for multiple name 
spaces, a new requirement the current OFG convention does not currently 
address.

Andre@ Would the OGF consider extending the naming policy for schemes to 
include schema name spaces ?  Also, would the OGFconsider modifying  the 
current  naming rules to  make them a little more human friendly, as in 
Costas' proposal ? 

BTW, I searched for a OGF policy for naming schemes, I couldn't find 
one. If anyone knows of one, I'd appreciate a pointer to it.

cheers,
gary
