- Model inherits from Package. This, with use of <sequence> in XSD causes some model specific features such as authors, version etc to end up at the end of a Model definition. Is this cumbersome? Reasons we did this is to inherit common elements like vodml-id, name,d escription and all the type collections. Also, UML has the same patterns, i.e. Model is-a special kind of Package there.
- vodml-id-s should be unique in document for all elements not a <model>. Should we extend this rule to <model> as well? Note that when generating vodml-id using generaiton rules a package with the same name as the vodml-id of the model would end up with same vodml-id, hence no uniqueness. Ofcourse one need not use such rules, or can give package a vodml-id different from its name to resolve this. Alternatively we could insist on using model's vodml-id as prefix for vodml-ids as well. Currently only utypes must have a prefix.
- When referreing to a vodml-id using a utype element one always MUST use as prefix the vodml-id of the model, whether an imported model or the model itself. It was a decision of the tiger team to make such prefixes "globally unique", i.e. every usage within the IVOA MUST use the same prefix, which MUST be the vodml-id of the model. This in contrast e.g. to XSD namespace/xmlns where prefixes can be freely declared. Sould we revisit this?
- ModelProxy has an element named prefix, which currently MUST be the same as the vodml-id of the imported model it represents. Is this name, prefix, ok?
