At this point that would invalidate ALL the examples I developed in a big way and perhaps ones that Larry and others have developed too.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Mostly the new model and XSD you produced from it passes regression testing. There is, however, one problem introduced when we moved InformationObject from the Process package to the DataDescription package. As a result one of my examples now won’t validate against the XSD. I have a workaround in the event the model remains frozen. Alternatively, I can test a possible fix on my copy of the current model and you can apply it if the model becomes unfrozen.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Because of this change in the location of InformationObject and because of a number of changes I introduced into the process model, it would be good to update two or three diagrams across Process and DataDescription. I can update the diagrams on my copy of the current model as you suggest below. Is that OK?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Finally, because the DDI-CDI namespace was changed, a bunch of the headers in the example XMLs needed to be changed too. Do we consider the namespace to be settled now?
