packaging

[Chad Berkley]

Hi,

I've put together a preliminary template for how the packaging "hard
coded" references will work.  By this I mean the casted elements within
modules that reference other modules.  for instance entity should have a
reference to attribute like:
<entity id=1>
  ....entity fields
  <attribute id=2>
    ...attribute fields
  </attribute>
  <attribute id=3>
    ...attribute fields
  </attribute>
</entity>

the schema for this will look like:
<xs:element name="entity" type="EntityType">
  ...other elements
  <xs:element name="attribute" type="att:AttributeType" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:element>

where att:AttributeType is imported from eml-attribute.

The template that I put together shows my first pass at which modules
should be embedded in each other.  Please take a look at it and give me
any comments.  I would like to implement this by tomorrow so please send
comments ASAP.  If you have any questions about what I mean by the
structure of the template, just ask.  I think it's pretty self
explanatory.

Thanks,
chad
