Issue 16181: Data Format definitions (rls-rtf)

Click here for this issue's archive.
Source: JARA (Mr. Shuichi Nishio, nishio(at)ieee.org)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:

Data formats that each Interface::Stream can handle are defined in Interface::StreamAbility. dataFormat. However, in certain cases, data formats may be automatically handled by middlewares. We shall reconsider to what extent data formats are treated as part of the RLS specification. Also, definition of each data format is currently not described. As other parts, such as coordinate reference system definitions, specification for describing data format definitions shall be defined.

Issue 16188: Specifying a set of CRS instances (rls-rtf)

Click here for this issue's archive.
Source: JARA (Mr. Shuichi Nishio, nishio(at)ieee.org)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:

Occasionally, there are situation where a set of CRSs needs to be defined as acceptable for a specific Interface::Stream, such as accepting a set of IDs based on several CRSs for a single stream. This cannot be realized in the current specification

Discussion:

One possible way is to make it able to define a hierarchical structure between
CRS instances. However, this is a difficult issue as violation on semantics shall
be considered carefully. Also, this will affect the original definition in ISO19111.
Thus, this shall rather be discussed in ISO TC/211 in the future.

Issue 17368: XML target namespace incorrect (rls-rtf)

Click here for this issue's archive.
Source: Object Management Group (Mr. Andrew Watson, andrew(at)omg.org)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary:

A.1 paragraph 3 says "Hereafter, the target namespace of the given XML schemas is assumed to be “http://www.omg.org/rls/1.1.”  Also, the prefix “rls” indicates the same namespace."


However, in fact this URL should be "http://www.omg.org/spec/RLS/1.1".

This needs to be corrected in the text of the specification (3 places, all on page 79), and in the Schema file dtc/2011-05-13, linked from http://www.omg.org/spec/RLS/1.1/. A corrected version of this file is available as dtc/12-05-01.
