I understand and agree that the cost of ISO documents is rather high. I have the advantage, because of my participation within the standardization work, to get these documents for free. > * You did not keep the idea of having two different namespaces, one for the > envelope and one for the message.

What do you think? I am not a firm supporter of namespaces as their use is overrated, and in what I am using it for I know what schema I am looking for, the ones I created. I use the same approach as with EDI, the UNB tells me what syntax version, and therefore the definitions of the service envelops, and the UNH the directory version the message is defined in. However, if you need to use it, go ahead and do so. As to the UNH being within the message, that is because the standard defines it that way, remember the segment name is "Message Header". > * I would put the version within the message tag name, or maybe within its > namespace: > > - <M_ORDERS.D.97A> > - <M_ORDERS xmlns=".../D/97A/"> > > Now, I am wondering if the ISO/TS 20625:2002 would not help me to answer my > questions... Could you help me? TS 20625 does not say much about namespace usage for the UNH, the only place are within two examples within that document which may help you: <M_ORDERS xmlns:din="http://www.din.de/examples/orders"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.din.de/examples/orders order1.xsd"> <M_ORDERS xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="order1.xsd"> Klaus ------------------------------------ ...
