XML Schema

The XML Schema Working Group is closed, having completed its work
successfully. The specifications are now maintained by the W3C XML Core
Working Group.

XML Schemas express shared vocabularies and allow machines to carry out
rules made by people. They provide a means for defining the structure,
content and semantics of XML documents. in more detail. XML Schema 1.0
was approved as a W3C Recommendation on 2 May 2001 and a second
edition incorporating many errata was published on 28 October 2004

What does the OSI-AP-Title “1,3,9999”


mean?
Is this identifier more than just a number defined by
somebody from IEC TC 57 WG 10? No! The underlying
definition is the “OSI Object Identifier model” (OID). This
numbering schema has been defined some 30 years ago
in the context of ASN.1.

MMS and MAP 3.0 used this identifier concept to get


unique object identification (see MAP 3.0). The basics of
MMS and OSI have been defined in the 80’s … and a lot
of people are still (and again and again) struggling with
these concepts that have no real use these days. The
concept of OIDs is great – just we do not make use of it
in the domain of IEC 61850.
