Re: [wsbpel] new issue: xsd target namespace and abstract profile URI
Why would we include both a version number and a date?  IMO version
suffices.

Also, it seems that partnerlink shouldn't be under process.  How about:

"http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/partnerLink/[...].xsd"

Hi, 

  

-------------------------------

  Background: 

During San Jose F2F, we passed a target namespace resolution (Issue
284) to update the target namespace URI for Exec and Abstract Process
to the following:

  

The namespace URI of executable process is updated from:
  

  "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/business-process/"
  

to:
  

"urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:process:executable"
  

  

The namespace URI of partner link type declaration in WSDL is updated
from:
  

  "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/partner-link/"
  

to:
  

"urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:partnerlink"
  

  

The namespace URI of abstract process is updated to:
  

"urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:process:abstract"
  

  

  [a]

  Peter Furniss suggested whether we should use a de-referenable
URI.
E.g. starting with "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/...". 
  

  

I guess there are two kinds of NS URI. 

  

One kind is not associated with an XML Schema. (e.g. expression
language URI) I think we should stick with URN in those cases.

  

The other kind is associated with an XML Schema. (e.g. target NS for
Exec and Abstract BPEL). In this case, I am open to change from URN
style to URL style with a de-referenceable URI. (Starting with
  "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/...")

  

(Example from another OASIS TC: 

 
  http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd)
  

  

If we want to pick this route, the URI will become something to
following:

  

The namespace URI of executable process is updated from:
  

  "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/business-process/"
  

to:
  

  "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/executable/[...].xsd"
  

  

The namespace URI of partner link type declaration in WSDL is updated
from:
  

  "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/partner-link/"
  

to:
  

  "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/partnerLink/[...].xsd"
  

  

The namespace URI of abstract process is updated to:
  

  "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/abstract/[...].xsd"
  

  

[...] is not decided yet. We need to investigate whether there is a
naming convention for XSD files in OASIS. 

  

  [b]

  For the abstract profile URIs:

For Observable Behavior, I would suggest to update to:

  "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/abstract/profiles/observable-behavior/2006/MM/[...].xsd"

For Template, I would suggest to update to: 

  "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/abstract/profiles/template/2006/MM/[...].xsd"

  

By having these changes, the URI for both profiles and abstract process
itself look more consistent.

  

If we don't have XSD for profiles, then the "[...].xsd" would be
dropped. 

  

  

  [c]

replace "MM" in profile with the real number for Month. Let us shoot
for "06"

  

  

I would suggest to formally pass the resolution for this topic once the
XSD for both Exec and
Abstract Process and both Abstract Process Profiles got finalized.
