Scope
The XML Schema Interest Group is a forum for the discussion of issues relating to the development of a language for defining and documenting XML-based markup languages, including both datatyping and structural constraints analogous to those expressible by XML DTDs. In particular, it serves as a resource for the communication of expert opinions to the XML Schema Working Group.
Deliverables
The XML Schema Interest Group does not develop specifications or code and as a body has no concrete deliverables under this charter.
Participation
Participation to the XML Schema Interest Group is open to the individuals representing a W3C Member organization, Invited Experts, and W3C Team representatives. Participants are strongly encouraged to take advantage of frequent opportunities to review and comment on deliverables from other groups.
Communication
This group primarily conducts its work on the Member-only mailing list w3c-xml-schema-ig@w3.org (archive). The public list public-schemata-users@w3.org (archive) is also available
Information about the group (deliverables, participants, face-to-face meetings, etc.) is available from the XML Schema Interest Group home page.
To keep debate within useful bounds and to keep the volume of mail within the ability of XML Schema Working Group participants to monitor it, discussions of the XML Schema Interest Group are limited to issues relevant to business currently being conducted by the XML Schema WG. It is the responsibility of the XML Schema Interest Group Chair to moderate discussion as necessary to enforce this rule. In extreme cases, the Chair has the authority to remove XML Schema Interest Group list subscribers if necessary to maintain order on the mailing list.
Patent Disclosures
The XML Schema Interest Group provides an opportunity to share perspectives on the topic addressed by this charter. W3C reminds Interest Group participants of their obligation to comply with patent disclosure obligations as set out in Section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy. While the Interest Group does not produce Recommendation-track documents, when Interest Group participants review Recommendation-track specifications from Working Groups, the patent disclosure obligations do apply.
For more information about disclosure obligations for this group, please see the W3C Patent Policy Implementation.
