[wg11] Part 28 teleconferences

[David Price]

Hello Heidi,

First, thanks for setting up these calls and for participating in the
discussion last week. No reason to wait for the calls to try and make
progress though.

I think the description of the requirements here isn't quite complete. It
needs to say something about the environment (e.g. tools) within which the
XML schema is used and/or the user community (e.g. level of EXPRESS
expertise) at which each is aimed. What I understood was something more
like:

> 1)  a simple non-validating schema with a simple data mapping,

An XML schema driven from EXPRESSS designed for a non-STEP- and
non-EXPRESS-literate community of users who do not have access to any
EXPRESS or Part 28 tool.

> 2)  a schema that provides type checking, and

An XML schema designed for XML use by the STEP community in a more-or-less
traditional STEP implementation environment with access to EXPRESS/Part 28
tools.

> 3)  a configurable schema.

A pre-existing XML schema is defined somewhere and Part 28 is used to
specify the relationship between it and a STEP EXPRESS schema covering the
same scope. The pre-existing schema creator did not take the STEP EXPRESS
schema structures into account when creating the XML Schema.

Cheers,
David
