    Hi folks, Thursday (5 August 2004)

    [for support of current WIMS prototyping effort at IBM - see following
    note for detailed example of usage]

    I have just posted PrtViews XML Schema v0.20:

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/prtviews-20040805.xsd

    This schema validates without warnings using XML SPY 2004, XRay 2.0, and
    XSV 2.5 (the free XML Schema Validator).

    Below are: (a) description; (b) change log.

    I have also just posted the following machine-translated schemas:

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/rfc2790-20040805.xsd
        - Host Resources MIB v2

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/rfc3805a-20040805.xsd
        - IANA Printer MIB (type 2 textual conventions)

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/rfc3805b-20040805.xsd
        - Printer MIB v2 (and type 1 textual conventions)

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/rfc3806a-20040805.xsd
        - IANA Finisher MIB (type 2 textual conventions)

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/rfc3806b-20040805.xsd
        - Finisher MIB v1 (and type 1 textual conventions)

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/rfc3808-20040805.xsd
        - IANA Charset MIB

    (I hand-edited the correct includes into Printer MIB and Finisher MIB
    schemas (RFC3805b/RFC3806b), so that they compile cleanly).

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    [description of PrtViews Schema]

    The PrtViews Schema defines a set of views of Host Resources MIB v2 and
    Printer MIB v2 elements, selected for Alert, Configuration, or Status
    application content.

    Each Printer MIB v2 table has selected elements in an 'entry view'.
    Each of these 'entry views' is then included in a 'summary view' (a
    short version of the full table from the Printer MIB). And each of the
    'summary views' is then included in a top-level Alert, Config, or Status
    'summary view'.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [changes from PrtViews v0.10 to v.20]

    (1) Minor editorial changes.

    (2) Changed include for Printer MIB v2 to RFC 3805,
        per request of Harry Lewis (IBM).

    (3) Added PrtViewHrDeviceIndex, PrtViewHrDeviceType (unused),
        PrtViewHrDeviceDescr, PrtViewHrDeviceID, PrtViewHrDeviceStatus,
        PrtViewHrDeviceErrors, PrtViewHrPrinterStatus, and
        PrtViewHrPrinterDetectedErrorState elements,
        per request of Harry Lewis (IBM).

    (4) Added PrtViewDeviceConfig and PrtViewDeviceStatus groups
        (selected elements from IETF Host Resources MIB v2, RFC 2790),
        per request of Harry Lewis (IBM).

    (5) Added PrtGeneralSerialNumber, PrtGeneralCurrentOperator,
        and PrtGeneralServicePerson to PrtViewGeneralConfig group
        per request of Harry Lewis (IBM).
