      Adopt or adapt the Platform Independent Model/ Platform Specific Model with the current information model as a PSM related to the proposed PIM. In the alternative, or together with that approach create restricted schemas for those specific purposes identified in other comments.

      Adopt or adapt the Platform Independent Model/ Platform Specific Model with the current information model as a PSM related to the proposed PIM. In the alternative, or together with that approach create restricted schemas for those specific purposes identified in other comments.

      I agree with the substance of Ed Koch's and other comments that recommend a narrow definition for WS-Calendar use. Requirements for many areas of application are narrower than the implementation of all iCalendar functionality.

      The approach of a Platform-Independent Model (in the UML model domain) and/or a restricted schema (in the XML Schema domain) would bring many uses with the narrower needs of specifying intervals, sequences, and gluons, due to the generality and apparent complexity of the information model.

      The generality of the information model is highly beneficial for the requirement of expressing iCalendar functionality and expression, but is limiting for enterprise-style high performance transactions where schema validation is automated and message validity can be determined with limited custom code.

      For the PIM see http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-calendar/download.php/41906/WS-Cal_PIM_20110419.jpg and http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-calendar/download.php/41909/WS-Cal_PIM_20110419.EAP.zip . For the schema restriction see notes of the TC meeting on April 22, 2011.
