<p class="MsoNormal">CSSMWG colleagues ---<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you know, over the past few weeks there has been discussion on various aspects
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">of the “standard header” for the SM Information Entities. In particular, the standard header is really more like a standard stereotype: three abstract classes (SvcMgtInfoEntity, SvcMgtHeader, and SvcMgtData) in a defined interrelationship
that is inherited by every SM Information Entity that we will define.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the past few days, I started looking into how this stereotype relationship might be represented in the XML schemas for those Info Entities. I explored two possible approaches (there may be more) and put together a set of slides that
I had hoped to be able to present at today’s telecon, but we ran out of time. Selection of one of these approaches (or some alternative) will govern how the XML schemas for our Info Entity schemas will be developed.
