[SEEK-Taxon] Draft TES

[Richard Pyle]

Thanks, Aimee.  I'll focus on the SEEK-specific stuff for now, and hold-off
on the ABCDNameTypes comments for later.

It may take a while to get my head around it -- not because I don't
understand the draft model; but because I'm still very new to deciphering
XML schemas.  I get the basics, but I don't have a good handle on some of
the specifics.  To that end, is there any good online reference I can turn
to for an introduction/tutorial to understanding XML?  I'm using XMLSpy Home
Edition (v.5, rel.3).  Unfortunately, this edition doesn't allow viewing of
schemas with "include" statements in the Schema/WSDL Design View (the view
that makes the most intuitive sense to this XML newbie).  So, to see the
SEEK elements, I have to delete the "include" statement for the
ABCDNameTypes file (no big whoop -- I can examine that separately).

Any advice/recommendations from the XML/XMLSpy Literati would be MUCH
appreciated!

Aloha,
Rich

Hi Rich,

We included ABCDNameTypes to stay as close to the TDWG schema as possible,
however, I think a modification of that might be reasonable for SEEK.  In
which case, we could discuss whether we want to take their types as is, or
strike out in another direction.

Hi All,

Sorry for the barrage of minutia posts...

If I have comments about the ABCDNamesTypes, should I post them here, or
send them directly to the ABCD folks?

Hi Aimee,

Dang!  Your message arrived just as I sent my last (Google led me to the
same URL you provided).

Many thanks!

Rich

Hi Rich,

ABCDNamesTypes.xsd is also present in the same CVS directory.
http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/seek/projects/taxon/s
chemas/ABC
DNameTypes.xsd

Take care,
Aimee

Thanks, Rob.

Where might I find a copy of "ABCDNamesTypes.xsd", which I'm prompted for
when trying to open the file in XMLSpy?

Aloha,
Rich

Good Afternoon Folks,

There is a draft of the TES containing some proposed rearrangements and
modifications to the current schema available on CVS at
http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/seek/projects/taxon/s
chemas/tes_draft.xsd.


The modifications are from many discussions and are attempts at
addressing the issues that have been a topic of conversation for the
last few months (authoring relationships between already existing
concepts, reducing concept inflation, etc).

You are all strongly encouraged to examine the draft and offer
constructive criticism.

Cheers,
Rob
