Title:  Use of GML schema components outside of GML application schemas
Source:  interactive instruments
Work item code:  Date:  2008-09-19
Category:  B
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 components of the GML schema, e.g. gml:Point, are useful also outside of a GML application schema (see, e.g., GEORSS). However, this is not properly recognised in the standard which mainly discusses the use within a GML application schema, but not in other schemas. In particular, no conformance class for such usage exists.
Summary of change:  Add a conformance class for the use of GML schema components in other schemas that are not GML application schemas.
Consequences if 
not approved: Conformant use of GML schema components limited to GML application schemas
