[auscope-geosciml] GeoSciML v3.0 instance documents top feature?

Wed Aug 31 18:33:52 EDT 2011

Namespace abbreviations are scoped to the document within which they are
declared. The WFS filter processor should be namespace aware, so it would
resolve the abbreviation before comparing feature names. It shouldn't make
any difference. Only reason to have convention is it makes it easier for
people to read the xml, but that's not supposed to go on very much.

Hi all, 
Gilly has proposed the following namespaces: 
        xmlns:gsml=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0"
       xmlns:cgu=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0"
       xmlns:gt=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0"
       xmlns:gbh=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0"
       xmlns:glab="
<http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0"
       xmlns:gpp=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0"
       xmlns:trs=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlc=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlem=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlga=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlgm=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlgu=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlst=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0"

Firstly, for consistency and uniqueness purposes, shouldn't we use: 
        xmlns:gsml30=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlcgu=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlgt=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlbh=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmllab="
<http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlpp=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0"
       xmlns:trs=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlc=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlem=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlga=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlgm=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlgu=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0"
       xmlns:gsmlgs=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0"

Secondly, for query purposes, do we have to agree on these namespace
abbreviations as part of the GeoSciML v3 profile? If I use gsmlgs and others
use gsmlst for " <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0>
http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0" then can a request to both
services for 'Contact" be made, and if so is it only if the full namespace
is included in the request? 
If we have to agree on the abbreviations then this will need to be formally
documented.

Hi folks,

Could one of the WFS guru advised me on (1) what version of WFS, and (2)
what top feature  should be used for drafting the instance doc?

<wfs:FeatureCollection> seems to be the most common top feature in the
instance doc available here (
<https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/GeoSciML/branches/3.0.0/instances/>
https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/GeoSciML/branches/3.0.0/instances/),
or should we use a <gsmlc:Collection>, or something else?

If you're looking for them, here is the list of all the GeoSciML v.3.0
namespaces:

       xmlns:gsml=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0>

       xmlns:gbh=" <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0>
