I consider keeping DTDs separate from normal web documents a Good Thing. Hence, I'd **really** like them all to be in some directory relative to
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds Whether it should then be http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/phoenix/metadata.dtd or http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/metadata.dtd or http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/phoenix-metadata.dtd or http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/phoenix/metadata-1.1.dtd or http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/2002/phoenix/metadata-1.1.dtd depends on the DTD scope and amount of DTDs we are likely to publish. Following practices from W3C and the like, and considering there is not and might not be anytime soon a common repository for jakarta DTDs, I suggest we follow this convention: http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/ \ {PUBLISHING-YEAR}/{SCOPING-SPEC}/{name}-{version}.dtd If a DTD is common throughout avalon, {SCOPING-SPEC} is left out. so it becomes http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/2002/phoenix/metadata-1.1.dtd http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/2002/merlin/metadata-1.3.2.dtd and if we all ever really do get to agree on some commmon standards: http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/2007/metadata-1.0.dtd In the event that a DTD is being worked upon but not considered "endorsed" yet, the version part of the DTD url should reflect this. It might thus be we will have http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/dtds/2003/metadata-0901-draft.dtd I think this setup will satisfy all concerns and is also quite workable. If this is agreed upon the naming convention page should probably be updated. regards, Leo Simons On Sun, 2002-09-01 at 08:05, Peter Donald wrote: > Hi, > > We got any standard for locating DTDs?
