Hi Athanasios,

Ocean operational template (Template.xsd) and thew proposed TOM changes
marry up as Operational Templates. As I understand it the proposed TOM
operational template schema is virtually identical to the current Ocean
operational template template.xsd.

>>Would the following be correct?

>> 1) A template is "archetypeable" which means that it too will have an ID
and its own path prefix

Yes, all that happens is that the archetyped data carries a template
identifier, in addition to the archetypeID. Querying can completely ignore
the templating aspect.

>> 3) A template must contain "section" elements. These are archetypeable
entities. Each section describes a list of archetypeable "Items".

No - Section elements are completely optional and only apply to Composition
templates - see below.

>> 4) A template might contain "subsection" elements if this is required.

Yes

>> 2) A template must contain a "composition" which contains a list of
archetypeable "Items".

No - Templates can be applied to any archetype. Many templates will be at
Composition level but others just add constraints to Entry or even Cluster
archetypes. We call these embedded templates in the Ocean tools and as the
name suggests these can be re-used within other templates.

Just think of templates as another layer of constraint. In ADL1.5,
templates and specialised archetypes are essentially identical. The only
difference (yet to be decided) is that templates cannot add new content.
Both can further constrain their parent.
