John, I just want to make sure you have seen this mail. The PWG group working on behalf of the project(s) outlined in our Work Register have been seeking confirmation from CIMCore on the recommended format for mapping strings. Can you help get some timely feedback on this? ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM STSM Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ---------------------------------------------- ----- Forwarded by Harry Lewis/Boulder/IBM on 03/16/2006 12:26 PM ----- <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>"McDonald, Ira" <imcdonald@sharplabs.com> Sent by: owner-wims@pwg.org 03/09/2006 10:47 AM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td>wg-cimcore@dmtf.org, jcrandal@Brocade.COM, "'Jon_Hass@Dell.com'" <Jon_Hass@Dell.com>, Winston_Bumpus@Dell.com, "'wims@pwg.org'" <wims@pwg.org> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>WIMS> Extended format for PWG mapping strings in CIM MOFs</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>[Extended for PWG MIB references, not supported in previous version] Hi John Crandall,                                 Thursday (9 March 2006) Background:  The PWG is a member organization of the IEEE-ISTO.  The PWG standards-track has only two levels, Candidate Standard and Standard. All current PWG standards-track documents are at the first level.  Each PWG standards-track document is assigned a permanent document number when it reaches Candidate Standard level, of the form "PWG 51xy.z", e.g., PWG 5105.1 is the PWG Semantic Model.  Note the infixed _dot_ in the document number. Modelled on the existing format for mapping strings for IETF standards and IETF MIBs, I propose the following ABNF for PWG mapping strings (using productions from RFC 4234 'ABNF'): pwg-ms   = pwg-std /                    ; PWG Standard Reference           pwg-mib                      ; PWG MIB Reference pwg-std  = DQUOTE pwg-num "." "PWG" "|" pwg-text DQUOTE pwg-num  = "PWG" "51" 2digit "-" 1*digit pwg-text = *(SP / VCHAR) pwg-mib  = DQUOTE "MIB.PWG" "|" pwg-mod "." pwg-obj DQUOTE pwg-mod  = 1*(VCHAR)                    ; MIB module name from BEGIN pwg-obj  = 1*(VCHAR)                    ; object name from OBJECT-TYPE Examples using this format:  MappingStrings { "PWG5101-1.PWG|Section 4 Media Color Names" }  MappingStrings {     "MIB.PWG|PWG-IMAGING-COUNTER-MIB.icMonitorCompletedJobs" } Note that the pesky infixed dot has been converted to a hyphen. Comments?
