Assessment and feedback received:
Assessment Schema 0.0.3 for Service Description is an initial assessment looking mostly at conformance to the SD spec.
Renato provided comments on that assessment (see Assessment Schema 0.0.3 for Service Description)
the comments stress the need for the schema to cover all information elements from the ICAO Service Overview.
Approach to the task intents to collect the result of our assessment
Work sessions will be defined for detailed discussions.
Please express your interest to be part of work sessions
outcome:
Discussions, comments received
The XML Schema from SWIM Governance was found more structured and easier to use. The embedded rules of what is mandatory or optional was very appreciated. In comparison producing a Service Description using the current JSON Schema brings additional difficulties.
JSON in itself is not questioned. However the current schema involves more manual work due to poor tooling. Expectation is to get the same level of support as was available with the XSD.
There is a need for a clear view on the rules, guidance, and tooling. There is a need to do own validation, without having to upload in the Registry. At short term there is the need to know what are the mandatory items. For longer term the expectation is that the schema and tooling would be such that people don't have to read documents / policies / spec.
There was a comment about the use of ISO 19115 to increase interoperability. Some examples are needed to make clear the impact on the Schema.
A first series of findings, initially intended for use in Registry CCB, was made available at the end of the meeting (available ).
All these needs will drive our work in the Service Description Schema task.
Call for participation to work sessions will be sent later this week.
