Closure of the SCHEMA wg

To the SCHEMA wg

Because of the unfortunate problems of actually creating the listing
service specified in the documents of this working group, I don't see that
the working group will succeed with the milestones given in the charter.
The documents are from my point of view basically done apart from the text
which is supposed to describe the actual listing service itself, and that
text can not be created until the listing service exists.

I have therefore reported to the IESG on jan 27 2000 that I have the
intention to close this working group if nothing happens within the next
two weeks (before feb 10 2000).

If the schema registry is created some time in the future, I see no
problem restarting the work with these issues where I see the wg
has stalled, but not in this wg.

What has happened to the Jan Deadline?

Hi,

According to the Charter, The LDAP schema registry was supposted to be
going now, Is there someone actively developing this now?

The main reason to ask, is that I have done about 1/2 the work towards
this.. 

 http://www.hk.super.net/~alan_k/ldap/top.html

It uses an LDAP database to store the existing schemas, and these pages
are a set of flat files generated from this.

At present I dont have the resources - like a full time net connection,
or finnacial to keep developing this on a full time basis..

If someone is already working on this? - There is not too much point in
continuing?? - however - if not, Do any of the companies that are
represented on this group feel like sponsoring this little project?????

Anyway, I'm open to ideas..

Regards

Alan

How to be removed from this list

Greetings again. Occasionally, people will sign up for a mailing list and
forget how to be removed. This message is a reminder for those folks.

First off, when you subscribe to a mailing list, you almost always get a
first message from the list owner telling you about the mailing list, and
explaining how to unsubscribe. It is always a good idea to keep those
messages, since you never know when you will need to unsubscribe. This is
particularly useful when you change email addresses, because it is difficult
to unsubscribe from a list after you have a different mailing address.

In the case of this list, the method to unsubscribe is to send a message
to:
     ietf-schema-reg-request <at> imc.org
with the single word:
     unsubscribe
in the body of the message. This is the same as it always has been.

To make this easier for you, I have crafted this message so that you should
be able to simply reply to this message, and the reply address should be
ietf-schema-reg-request <at> imc.org (although some mail clients screw this up...).
Remove everything from the body of the reply, and put in the single word:
     unsubscribe

If you have tried this method, and the mailing list software won't let you
unsubscribe, it is probably because your address has changed. In that case,
please send a message to subs <at> imc.org stating which list (or lists) you
want to unsubscribe from, and what you think your previous address was.
There is a human (that's me!) who will then try to take care of your
request, often within a few days.

Schema Repository Experiment

We are going to initiate an experiment with hosting an open
Schema Repository using FAQ-O-MATIC software.  FAQ-O-MATIC
is an interactive web content maintenance system.  We have no
clue to how this is going to work out nor even a scheme.

We are just going to do it!

Folks interested in contributing to this experiment
are welcomed to join in the fun.

The EMPTY faq-o-matic is available at:
        http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=5

I recommend discussions concerning this experiment
take place on the OpenLDAP-devel mailing list until
a separate mailing list is warranted.

(Yes, I am aware of the Schema Repo drafts...
hopefully we can use some of the ideas here to get
this effort jump started.)

Enjoy!  Kurt

There is no working system right now. My understanding was
that the Internet Directory Consortium was to pick up the
development and operations responsibility for it. Maybe someone
from that org will see this message and respond with status.

The documents are dependent on other documents which have not
made it through the pipe yet. I do not think that an IETF
Last Call will be issued for the schema listing service documents
until the other documents make it through.

Post a message to the LDAP-related mailing lists asking about
particular types of schema. Right now, I believe this is the
only way of finding out what work has been done (other than
that in the LDAP specs).

Some questions regarding LDAP schema registration

  Could somebody please answer some of my questions
  regarding LDAP schema registration process ?

  1. Is there now a process to register an LDAP schema ?
      I remember some work was started sometime last year.

  2. How can I find out which LDAP schemas people have
      defined so far ?

  3. Is there a process to avoid conflicts in attribute names
      and object class names in the LDAP schemas defined
      by various people ?  If not, then how do 2 LDAP directory
      applications which define a same attribute name (or object class)
      with different semantics work with a single LDAP directory ?

  thanks

draft-ietf-schema-ldap-01 edit

In Appendix 2, LDAP Schema Definition syntax definition, a note should
be made as to the use of folded lines being used in examples are for
readablility and that new lines are not part of the definition.

Last Call: Directory Schema Listing Procedures to BCP


The IESG has received a request from the Schema Registration Working
Group to consider Directory Schema Listing Procedures
<draft-ietf-schema-proc-list-01.txt> as a BCP.

The IESG will also consider publication of the following
Internet-Drafts as Informational RFCs:

 o Directory Schema Listing File Names
	<draft-ietf-schema-file-list-01.txt>
 o Directory Schema Listing Meta Data
	<draft-ietf-schema-mime-metadata-01.txt>
 o Requirements for the Initial Release of a Directory Schema
   Listing Service
	<draft-ietf-schema-rqmts-list-01.txt>
 o A MIME Content-Type for WHOIS
	<draft-ietf-schema-whois-00.txt>
 o MIME Directory Profiles for Listing Whois++ Schema
	<draft-ietf-schema-whoispp-00.txt>
 o A MIME Directory Profile for RWhois 1.5 Schema
	<draft-ietf-schema-rwhois-00.txt>
 o MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema
	<draft-ietf-schema-ldap-01.txt>

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send any comments to the
iesg <at> ietf.org or ietf <at> ietf.org mailing lists by August 31, 1998.

Files can be obtained via

state of the documents in SCHEMA


I have not seen any discussion on this mailing list for several months.
Are this group's internet drafts ready for last call to become RFCs?  If
not, what is needed?
