    Hi,

    This is a potentially FAR reaching new IETF activity that
    will affect IETF NetConf (which has defined an XML RPC,
    but not any XML modelling language) and even DMTF CIM-XML
    (because of the open standard for translation of SMIv2 to
    XSD, which has never existed before).

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    Subject: [NGO] XSDMI work

    Hi,

    The XSDMI BOF proposed the creation of a WG to develop 1) the XSD
    equivalents of datatypes and textual conventions from SMIv2, and 2)
    algorithms to translate MIB module specifications into XSD
    equivalents. The BOF demonstrated community support for these two work
    items.

    People in the BOF volunteered to commit to being editors (3) and
    reviewers (14) for these work items. Starting documents and
    implementations already exist. The work is expected to take less than
    12 months.

    At Dan's suggestion, rather than starting a new WG for this work, we
    have proposed that the SMI-to-XSD translation work be done in the
    OPSAWG.

    The OPSAWG chairs need to determine whether the OPSAWG WG should
    accept this work. Please send email to opsawg@ietf.org with comments
    about your support/lack of support for having the OPSAWG do this work.
    (If you do not subscribe to opsawg, you might want to do so, in order
    to follow the discussions.)
