---+ Discussion of the VOSpace 1.1 property registration schema

This is a discussion page for the XML schema for registering properties, views and protocols.

The aim is to define extensions or modifications to the IVOA standard registration schema that will enable us to register and describe VOSpace properties, views and protocols.
   * [[http://www.eso.org/~pharriso/ivoa/schema/VOStandard-v0.2.xsd][IVOA standard registration schema]]

   * [[http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~pah/ivoa/schema/VOSpaceResource-v1.0rc4.xsd][Existing schema]] 
   * [[http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~pah/ivoa/schema//vospace-1.0rc4.xml][Existing example]] 

Version 1.0 of the service specification refers to,
but does not specify the XML schema for registering properties,
views and protocols.

Although this discussion is associated with version 1.1 of the service specificication,
the aim of this discussion is to define a registration schema that can
be used by version 1.0 and 1.1 of the service specification.

The [[http://www.eso.org/~pharriso/ivoa/schema/VOSpaceResource-v1.0rc4.xsd][schema]] contains the following :
<verbatim>
   <xsd:complexType name="PropertyDescriptionType">
      <xsd:annotation>
      ....
      </xsd:annotation>
      <xsd:complexContent>
         <xsd:extension base="vs:BaseParam">
            <xsd:attribute name="key" type="xsd:string">
               <xsd:annotation>
               ....
               </xsd:annotation>
            </xsd:attribute>
         </xsd:extension>
      </xsd:complexContent>
   </xsd:complexType>
</verbatim>

But the  [[http://www.eso.org/~pharriso/ivoa/schema//vospace-1.0rc4.xml][example]] contains the following :
<verbatim>
  <key name="size" xsi:type="vsp:VOSpaceProperty">
    <description>The size of the data item</description>
    <unit>bytes</unit>
  </key>
</verbatim>

   1. The schema has attribute =key=, but the example has _element_ =key= attribute =name=.
   2. The schema has =complexType !PropertyDescriptionType=, but the example has =xsi:type !VOSpaceProperty=

I suspect I might be looking at the wrong versions of things.
Can you add the latest schema and example(s) as attachments to this page, so that we can track the changes.

The [[http://www.eso.org/~pharriso/ivoa/schema/VOSpaceResource-v1.0rc4.xsd][schema]]  contains the following :
<verbatim>
 <xsd:attributeGroup name="identifier">
      <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:NCName" use="required">
         <xsd:annotation>
         ....
         </xsd:annotation>
      </xsd:attribute>
   </xsd:attributeGroup>
</verbatim>
However, I don't think this is used in the rest of the schema.
In which case, can we remove it.
