W3 Releases Packaging Recommendations

CAP V1.1 provides a mechanism for including “de-referenced”
objects within resource elements. (ie: derefurui)

W3C has just released a set of recommendations that address
similar concerns in the context of Web Services. It would probably make sense
to study these recommendations to see if there are any ideas that can be
incorporated or if their mechanisms are preferable to those currently in the
V1.1 draft. As always, it is a good idea to avoid too much “invention”
when creating standards that are intended to be used widely. Doing things using
methods with which developers are already familiar tends to increase the likelihood
of interoperability.

recommendations, at:
