Joe,
I have a draft XSD for this -attached. I just have not had time to
document this for the use case yet, or produce some samples for
a complete dictionary - say OAGi BODs. I discussed extracting
from XD of OAGi BODs into this XSD and then into Registry
last week at NIST meeting - this is imminently doable.
If the Fed's would like to fund something here - seeing its "urgent" - I
may be able to prioritize it above all the other revenue generating
work I'm having to do. Otherwise it will probably be a couple of months
before I find time for this as things stand right now.
Thanks, DW
