RIM ITS example

XML ITS  Clonenames do not carry semantic meaning  They are there for XSD validation  And disambiguation (clonenames are unique)  Readable  Tons of schema’s  Clonenames irrelevant in storage  Hard to convert to in-mem RIM Object model

RIM ITS  Clonenames are stripped, unchanging names from the RIM Classdiagram used instead  The “one” schema: RIM UML -> XSD  Aligns with RIM-database  Disambiguation by template or order  Validation requires new artifacts
