Using PURLs for OOXML namespace names

[Shawn Villaron]

Thank you, Murata-san, for this information.  I'll spend some time today reading about PURLs.

Regarding registering OPC, I don't see any reason not to do so.  We might not use it, but if we eventually need to, it'll be one less thing we need to worry about.

Subject: Using PURLs for OOXML namespace names

Dear colleagues,

In the last teleconf, we discussed about the use of PURLs for OOXML namespace names.

http://purl.oclc.org/

WG1 has used PURLs for DSDL namespaces.  For example:

http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/nvdl/ns/structure/1.0

This is redirected to a RDDL page.

http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~eb2m-mrt/nvdl/ns/structure/1.0/index.xml

"dsdl" as part of http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/nvdl/ns/structure/1.0 is a domain name.  I registered this domain name.

If we would like to use PURLs for OOXML namespaces, we should some domain names.  I was going to register "ooxml" but should we register "opc" as well?  Shawn, any suggestions?
