Dear all,
Since the last TAPIR meeting I took the liberty to reorganize the TDWG repository of output models, mainly by creating subfolders for each version of each conceptual schema and by normalizing the output models.
By output model normalization I mean removing the inline response structure definition from the output model, putting it somewhere else and just referencing it. This seems good practice because response structures tend to be exactly the same, regardless the conceptual schema that was used in the mapping.
So the root folder for the repository is:
Inside this folder you can find subfolders for each conceptual schema, then subfolders for each version and then a "model" and a "template" folder. So far I could only test dwc/1.4 with TapirLink, which still doesn't work with the ABCD output model (due to the lack of some type definitions in the ABCD XML Schema) and with the taxonCoordinates.xml (due to unsupported schema constructs). This last one I suppose was created for Biomoby tests and I'm not sure if it's being (or will be) used.
And as I said, a new folder was created to store response structures:
Not all structures are there. For instance, canonical Darwin and ABCD are hosted under their own domains.
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. There may still be some changes to make, but I really hope that this way of organizing things will remain stable for the next centuries.
Best Regards, -- Renato
