[Tools-discuss] xml version of 1id-abstracts.txt/1id-index.txt and all_id.txt

[Tony Hansen <[e-mail]>]

There was some discussion recently of having an xml version of the 
internet-drafts files 1id-*.txt and all_id.txt.

Moving this further along, I'd like to make concrete proposals for the 
schema for such files. First off, for 1id-abstract, the schema would be 
(I'm not an expert at DTDs, so forgive any errors here):

<!ELEMENT internet-drafts (docs working-group-map)>
   <!ELEMENT docs (doc*)>
     <!ELEMENT doc (name, author, date, wg, file, abstract?)>
       <!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
       <!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)>
       <!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)>
       <!ELEMENT wg (#PCDATA)>
       <!ELEMENT file (#PCDATA)>
       <!ELEMENT abstract (#PCDATA)>
   <!ELEMENT working-group-map (group*)>
     <!ELEMENT group (acronym, name)>
       <!ELEMENT acronym (#PCDATA)>
       <!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>

Translation:
   <internet-drafts> contains <docs> and <working-group-map>
   <docs> contains 1 or more <doc>
   <doc> contains a <name>, <author>, <date>, <wg>, <file> and <abstract>
   The <wg> contains a working group acronym.
   At the end is a map from working group acronyms to spelled out names.
   <working-group-map> contains 1 or more <group>
   Each <group> contains an <acronym> and <name>.

A sample would look like this:

     <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
     <internet-drafts>
     <docs>
     <doc>
      <name>Transmission of IP over Ethernet over IEEE
       802.16 Networks</name>	
      <author>HongSeok Jeon</author>
      <date>18-Apr-08</date>
      <wg>16ng</wg>
      <file>draft-ietf-16ng-ip-over-ethernet-over-802.16-06.txt</file>
      <abstract>
       This document describes the transmission of IPv4 over ...
     </doc>
     ...
     </docs>
     <working-group-map>
     <wg>
      <acronym>16ng</acronym>
      <name>IP over IEEE 802.16 Networks</name>
     </wg>
     <wg>
      <acronym>6man</acronym>
      <name>IPv6 Maintenance</name>
     </wg>
     ...
     </working-group-map>
     </internet-drafts>

    http://merlot.tools.ietf.org/~tonyh/internet-drafts/1id-abstracts.xml

For all_id.xml, I'm proposing this schema:

<!ELEMENT all-internet-drafts (id*)>
   <!ELEMENT id (file, date, status, tracker?, iesg?, by?, rfc?)>
     <!ELEMENT file (#PCDATA)>
     <!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)>
     <!ELEMENT status (#PCDATA)>
     <!ELEMENT tracker (#PCDATA)>
     <!ELEMENT iesg (#PCDATA)>
     <!ELEMENT by (#PCDATA)>
     <!ELEMENT rfc (#PCDATA)>

Translation:
   <all-internet-drafts> contains one or more <id>
   Each <id> contains a <file>, a <date>, and a <status>
   Depending on the value of <status>, there may be a <tracker>, a
   <iesg>, a <by> and a <rfc>.

A sample would look like this:

   <all-internet-drafts>
     <id>
       <file>draft-adolf-dvb-urn-03</file>
       <date>2007-12-18</date>
       <status>In IESG processing</status>
       <iesg>Revised ID Needed</iesg>
     </id>
     <id>
       <file>draft-cain-post-inch-phishingextns-03</file>
       <date>2007-10-25</date>
       <status>In IESG processing</status>
       <tracker>Publication Requested</tracker>
     </id>
     <id>
       <file>draft-zorn-radius-port-type-04</file>
       <date>2006-04-04</date>
       <status>RFC</status>
       <rfc>4603</rfc>
     </id>
     <id><file>draft-yokota-mipshop-3gfh-02</file>
       <date>2008-03-03</date>
       <status>Replaced</status>
       <by>draft-ietf-mipshop-3gfh</by>
     </id>
   </all-internet-drafts>
