PWG> FW: IETF XSDMI work (MIB to XSD translation)

Hi,

This is a potentially FAR reaching new IETF activity that
will affect IETF NetConf (which has defined an XML RPC,
but not any XML modelling language) and even DMTF CIM-XML
(because of the open standard for translation of SMIv2 to
XSD, which has never existed before).

Cheers,
- Ira

Subject: [NGO] XSDMI work


Hi,

The XSDMI BOF proposed the creation of a WG to develop 1) the XSD
equivalents of datatypes and textual conventions from SMIv2, and 2)
algorithms to translate MIB module specifications into XSD
equivalents. The BOF demonstrated community support for these two work
items. 

People in the BOF volunteered to commit to being editors (3) and
reviewers (14) for these work items. Starting documents and
implementations already exist. The work is expected to take less than
12 months.

At Dan's suggestion, rather than starting a new WG for this work, we
have proposed that the SMI-to-XSD translation work be done in the
OPSAWG.

The OPSAWG chairs need to determine whether the OPSAWG WG should
accept this work. Please send email to opsawg at ietf.org with comments
about your support/lack of support for having the OPSAWG do this work.
(If you do not subscribe to opsawg, you might want to do so, in order
to follow the discussions.)
