Achieving Distributed Extensibility and Versioning in XML Dave Orchard W3C Lead BEA Systems

Extension & Versioning  Perhaps the biggest goal of loose coupling is to allow distributed extension and evolution  Provides a framework for designing languages  Choices and Decisions Facing Designer

Material  First Version:  Second Version:  References:  Source for W3C TAG Finding on Extensibility and Versioning  And for the Web Architecture document

Compatibility  Backwards Compatible  Newer software can read older versions of documents  ie. Update Schema and older documents validate  Forwards Compatible  Older software can read newer versions of documents  Incompatible means that software must be upgraded V.N ProducerV.N Consumer V.N + 1 Producer V.N + 1 Consumer Forwards- Compatible Backwards- Compatible

Language Designer’s Choices  Can Designer extend language in a compatible way?  Forwards-compatible requires substitution rules  Transform newer extension into older instance  Designer can always do incompatible change  Can 3 rd party extend language in compatible way?  Can 3 rd party extend language in incompatible way?  Is language stand-alone or extension

Design decisions 1.Schema language  Can extension schemas be written? 2.Given schema language, constructs for extensibility  Schema’s compatible extension is the wildcard 3.Substitution mechanism: needed for compat change  Must Ignore Unknown: Any unknown component is ignored  Others: XSLT Fallback model, … 4.Component version identification  Namespaces, version #s 5.Indicating incompatible changes  New version, mandatory extensions

Decision: Extensibility  Schema Wildcard   attributes:  processContents for schema validation  Lax allows WSDL to control validation  namespace for which namespaces are allowed  Schema does not have a “default” extensibility model  sometimes called open content model  Extensibility Rule: Allow new elements or attributes

Decision: Substitution mechanism  Substitution Rule: Provide substitution mechanism  This is critical for compatible changes  Sender can put new information in without breaking receiver  Candidate: Must Ignore Unknown  Receivers must ignore content they don’t understand  example, receiver must ignore ns2:middle Dave Orchard Bryce

Extension vs Version  Extension: Additional content by others  Version: Additional/changed content by designer  Historically version identification is by “x.y” format  x changes are major and usually incompatible  y changes are minor and often compatible  Namespaces allow designers to control versions  Modularize their languages  And 3 rd parties to make additions  Compatible vs incompatible  Blurry distinction:  Language designer references another language?  Extension author makes incompatible change

Component Version Identification factors  Allow compatible evolution  Typically means retaining namespace name  Complete schema for extensions/versions  Generic tools usage  Version #s may preclude usage of

Decision: Component version identification 1.All components in new namespace(s) per version Dave Dave Orchard Orchard Bryce 2.All new components in new namespace for each compatible version Dave Orchard Bryce 3.All new components in existing or new namespace(s) for each compatible version Dave Orchard Bryce 4.All new components in existing or new namespace for each version + version identifier Dave Dave Orchard Orchard Bryce

First Solution: CVI Strategy #3   Dave Orchard  Dave Orchard Bryce

First Solution Problem  Problem: Can’t create new Schema for the extension  Illegal:   In fact, many if not most schemas have optional content at end in V1

Deterministic Content Model  XML DTDs and XML Schema require “deterministic content models”.  “the content model ((b, c) | (b, d)) is non-deterministic, because given an initial b the XML processor cannot know which b in the model is being matched without looking ahead to see which element follows the b.”  Optional element followed by are NOT allowed 

Second Solution: CVI Strategy #2   Dave Orchard Orchard  This is the most common extensibility model

CVI Strategy #2 Problem  Problem: Can’t create new Schema for this  Illegal: 

Extension schema choices 1.extension is required - incompatible 2.extension is optional, then: 1.Lose the extensibility point  This means only 1 new version 2.Do not add the extension into the schema  Validate any extensions found if you can  Can’t validate the “right” extensions are in the “right” place  …..

CVI Strategy #3: Schema design #2  There are complex ways to write the schema  Can write a compatible Schema  Extensions & versions  #1: Extension element for same namespace  This element has only a wildcard  This does the “swap” extensibility for element content trick  #2: Dare Obasanjo’s Sentry technique

Extension element 

Sample  Dave Orchard Bryce  Another revision  Dave Orchard Bryce Mr.

Schema V2

#5: Incompatible Extensions  When adding required functionality  Extension authors don’t “own” namespace  Designer provides mechanism to indicate extension is required  “Must Understand” rule is a good one  Software must fault if extension with mU isn’t understood  Overrides the Must Ignore rule  Example: add required ns2:middle as SOAP header  Bryce Dave Orchard …  Another solution: provide a mustUnderstand model  Dave Orchard Orchard  Complexities: scope of mU, partial processing

Versioning activities  W3C TAG work  Web architecture doc, finding  XML Schema 1.1(2.0?)  1.0 doesn’t make extensibility easy  explicit wildcards and determinism constraints  No “must ignore unknowns”, “must understand”  1.1 may relax determinism for wildcards  RelaxNG, OWL/RDF have open content model

Summary  Choices  Versions  Extensions  Optional, mandatory  Decisions  Schema language  Schema design  Substitution model  Component version identification strategy
