Title: Correct two namespace errors
Source: William Kammersell, BBN Technologies
Work item code: Date: 2005-08-31
Category: F
Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.
Reason for change: The schema wfs.xsd (found at http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd) has two critical errors. On line 32, type is “wfs:ServiceType”. However, no such type exists in the wfs namespace. Also, on lines 334 and 344 there is a base with value “NMTOKEN”. This value needs a namespace, however.
Summary of change: Change the type on line 32 from “wfs:ServiceType” to “ows:ServiceType”. This matches the type on line 155 and resolves to a valid element. Lines 334 and 344 should also be changed to have a valid namespace for “NMTOKEN”. I am unsure what that namespace should be, but another solution is to add a
NMTOKEN to wfs.xsd and change lines 334 and 344 to
“wfs:NMTOKEN”.According to the WFS Implementation Specification (04-094, p.82) the namespace should be xsd. So, change lines 334 and 344 from “NMTOKEN” to “xsd:NMTOKEN”.
Consequences if
not approved: The wfs.xsd schema is invalid because there are references to wfs:ServiceType and NMTOKEN, which currently do not exist. Fixing these namespaces will resolve the targets for these references.
