Description C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2006-03-25 17:44:19 UTC 
This issue was originally reported against XML Schema 1.0 
by Dan Connolly.

Define an algorithm for generating a URI for any construct in a schema
(or, possibly, in a schema document), thus making schema constructs
first-class objects in the Web. Minimally the algorithm should cover
element( type)s, attributes, simple types, complex types, and
notations. Optionally it may also cover other constructs such as named
groups and items in enumerations of legal values.

This item is not a requirement for the XML Schema spec itself (or so
decided the WG on 2004-04-23, see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Apr/0208.html).

It remains a requirement for the work of the Working Group, but it
will be met by the Schema Component Designators draft, not by XML
Schema 1.1.
Comment 1 Mary Holstege 2008-07-15 16:06:31 UTC 
The SCDs specification addresses this requirement.
