Some of us (Dirk, Paul,...) need more actions marked up as soon
as possible.
((T.Yoshie, 2005 Nov 15))
Indeed. My original idea was that if we can make a general structure for
actions in the schema, then new actions can be added in a modular way with
the
<xsd:import namespace="anyURI"  schemaLocation="anyURL"/>
Feature so that a new action does not necessarily entail a new version of
the schema. I haven't done this for Dirk's actions. We should decide how we
manage this, i.e. does a new action which doesn't change the structure need
a new revision, i.e. QCDml1.2, or is it QCDml1.1.1 where QCDml1.1 IDs don't
need to get the new schema. What scheme should adopt for this? I guess this
is related to B) and C)
(( C. Maynard 2005-11-15))
We should not change the name if the schema is backward compatible, i.e.
all documents conforming to the previous schema continue to conform to
the modified schema. To distinguish schemata being updated in this way,
they should contain a comment with an extended version number. For the
current schema we could, e.g., use 1.1.0 as an extended version number,
1.1.1 for the updated schema. Both schemata would have the name
QCDml1.1. As a matter of principle, we should aim for not changing the
name.

Discussions are separated to F-1), F-2) and F-3)
((T. Yoshie, 2005-11-17))

In item B), Chris considers possibilityes of ad-hoc, or bi-annual,
or annual release. In item B) and C), Dirk proposes that we should
release an updated schema within a short period of time after a change
has been requested and accepted, adding that "any proposal of change is
automatically accepted if there is no objection circulated within the
MDWG within a certain period of time (e.g. 2 weeks)"
I certainly agree that Dirk's proposal is the best way to do.
Is "2 weeks" sufficient?
((T. Yoshie, 2005-11-17))
At ILDG7, I summarized a procedure to process a request from users
to markup new configurations. I think 2 weeks period is sufficient
before the proposed schema is automatically approved. If you have
objections, let us know soon.
