Brief discussion of next steps. > > [13:07] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Note taker is Jishnu [13:08] anonymous morphed into Bob Daniel [13:10] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Paper being discussed at http://www.omgwiki.org/smsc/lib/exe/fetch.php?id=playground%3Anew_page&cache=cache&media=playground:machine_readable_artifacts_for_omg_submissions.doc [13:11] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Pete gave an overview of the contents of this draft [13:13] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Discussion of the item "The files should not arbitrarily change between versions, for example through use of a new tool (or versions thereof). That includes changes to identifiers." [13:13] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Larry pointed out this may prove to be onerous for Domain submitters [13:21] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Using a different tool to generate XSDs would typically cause massive syntactic changes that have relatively little semantic change [13:22] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Pete pointed out that this is a "should" best practice rather than a shall "mandatory" requirement [13:23] Sridhar: If we doing our standards 'properly' the tool used should not change the interchange format - only a revision of the undrlying model would cause a change [13:24] Sridhar: Suggested best practice : Interchange format changes should mirror model changes (small changes in model affect interchange by a small amount) [13:28] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Larry: Unfortunately XMI is not specified in a way that makes it possible to achieve the second item mentioned by Sridhar [13:29] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Pete: There are both XMI and UML issues [13:31] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Larry: Action item raise an issue for this [13:32] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Pete two issues: 1 against UML to make all associations ordered, and 2 an issue on XMI to require XMI serialization to reflect the same ordering as in UML [13:32] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Doug: Restrict this to RTFs [13:33] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Manfred: There are limitations in using tools like subversion for managing model versions [13:36] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Discussing the Manifest issue brought up by Pete, Andrew and Jishnu said the info in the manifest is necessary. We can decide how it is presented in the published document [13:40] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): On the issue of zip files, Larry, Manfred and Doug suggested that two separate zip files one for normatives and one for informatives with each file containing a manifest of its content [13:41] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Tom: When the files are published they need to be published at the right location URL [13:48] Sridhar: got to go, bye [13:52] Jishnu Mukerji (HP): Contents of zip files will typically not need individual document numbers.
