Hi Bill,
You can view the diagram by opening the png file and then expanding the view
. As you mention, in its base size it is not readable.
Where we are moving the PWG web site to a new virtual host, I wonder whether
the PWG could purchase an XMLSpy license and install it on the new virtual
site such that any of us who would need to update the schema could use it.
The diagrams on the web showing only two levels are not a limitation of the
tool. More levels can be shown in a graphic as needed.
Also if we need it, I believe I can produce the HTML files, to illustrate
the Abstract Base Class, so that we can add them to the PWG web site.
Let me know if you want me to make HTML files of the Abstract Base Class
schema.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
/Paul

Subject: RE: PWG Semantic Model - Abstract Base Class
Thank you Paul, but the attached graphic appears to be jumbled.
We had agreed to try to use a common graphic style presentation in the
specification, and there was the suggestion that the type used in the
browseable version on the PWG web site would be good. But I do not see how
to get to the abstract base classes on the web. Is there some way to do
this?
Also, the browseable version is pretty much limited to showing two levels.
Although this simplifies things for very complicated elements, it would
produce an enormous number of figures for the spec, many of which would not
be particularly useful in themselves but necessary to show the path. In many
cases, having a more complex picture showing the path would be both more
efficient and more comprehendible. So we are back to coming up with a good
XML graphical program, accessible to the authors, that does not cost a
mint. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bill Wagner

Subject: PWG Semantic Model - Abstract Base Class
Hi Bill,
The abstract base class model can be found here:
PWG_SM_2.0
Common Types, elements and schema
ServiceTypes.xsd
I expanded the complete abstract model and made a PNG of it (see attached).
I can make smaller PNG's of sections should you need them.
I will start validating the diagrams in section 5 in the coming days.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
/Paul
