Re: [ormf-dev] [Generic Requirements Schema]
|
Hi Achim.
Please hold on a little. The whole way in which we figure out tasks is
changing, as Joel was trying to make clear in the other thread about
the way forward. We will be completing the plan very shortly now, at
which point we will distribute it and will discuss the whole thing then.
Thanks,
B.

Hi all,
the task below is still open (and still assigned to me, Joel?). I'd
like to start discussing this, but once again I'm not sure about the
right media. I've set a subject in this email which would allow us
to sort through the mails. But I think that using Bugzilla might be
a better way. It's easier to follow for interested parties and has
an automated history. Attached documents would be readily available
to all.
If no one objects (let's say until Friday 18:00 GMT) I'll make an
entry in Bugzilla with the text below, assign it to myself and add
Joel as Cc. Everyone interested may add her-/him-/itself.

=== Task below
Generic Requirements Schema [Achim]* - The schemas that define
the documents in Useme are specific to the document type. While we
have performed some generalisation in reusable parts, there is
more that can be done to simplify the task of creating new
document types. The "holy grail" would be to come up with
a schema that was sufficiently generalised that it did not require
the creation of document specific schemas whatsoever. The
advantage to this would be that no new EMF objects would have to
be created to support the new document, which reduce the task of
adding a new document type to defining 1) metadata that drove the
type; 2) the new editors; 3) and reports. I am not at all certain
if this is achievable, and I have concerns that generalising to
this degree might degrade the structured nature we are aiming for.
It is, however, worth some thought and discussion. This is the
time to consider the issue of supporting standards. The outcome of
the this task will be an appropriate schema(s) (XSD) to feed into EMF.
