[AMF-talk] AMF progress

[Thomas Krichel]

  Just a brief report on recent developments with respect to AMF 
  and its schema.

  On of the thing that the schema should do is to encorporate
  the schemed elements, classification and keywords in the
  schema. 

  My current thinking is that AMF should support controlled subject
  vocabularies. This implies that we keep a series of schema
  files that contain the valid codes for each schema. Then,
  within schema, the type can be set with xsi:type in  the
  classification   element, and checking can proceed. However
  there is some technical issue within schema how to express
  the type of the classificaiton element (the one that
  carries the xsi:type attribute). The type pointed to 
  by xsi:type has to be a derived type of the classification
  type. I have been in touch with the group that provide the
  qualified dc schema, I think that their schema does do
  implement something.

  RePEc is now officially registered as an OAI provider, and
  Simeon tells that it harvests fine with his harvester.
