All:
I recently noticed that the DTD and XSchema of the DDI 1.2.2 and 1.3
specifications published under the official URL have a small
discrepency: in the DTD, the <codeBook> element definition contains
both and an xml-lang and an xml:lang attributes. This however is not
carried over in the XSchema definition where the xml:lang does not
appear. See for example:
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI/Version1-2-2.dtd
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI/Version1-2-2.xsd
This actually caused the DDI produced by the latest version of the
Nesstar Publisher (not yet released) to produce DDI-XML that did not
properly validate (though being correct). I have notified the developers
and they have switched to the xml-lang attribute. This is however
something we may want to correct in the published schemas.
Also checked 1.02 and in that one both xml-lang and xml:lang are missing
from the schema For 1.01 and 1.0, only the xml:lang exists in the DTD
and is missing from the schemas.
The 2.0 and 2.1 xsd files do not have this problem.
How should we proceed to have these issues fixed in both CVS and on
under the official http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI/* URL's? Can we simply
make the change or do we need to file an official bug?
