Hi Amita,
the scheme is just a prefixing device defined by the SDO spec that allows
implementations to provide for alternative path syntaxes. It's just
academic at the moment, since we use the default scheme and don't have any
alternatives. So it permits things like dataObject.get("myScheme:<path
syntax expressions>);
Best Regards, Kelvin.

Hi Kevin, Frank,
Yes, Frank, thanks a lot. This is what exactly I was looking for.
When this gets added to the SDO spec, I would surely like to work
on the Tuscany-SDO implementation part of it.
Also, Kevin, will you please provide me some pointers on the scheme
front. I have so far worked on DAS and will need to know more
of SDO to get a better understanding.
Regards,
Amita
