[SED-ML-discuss] Namespaces in NewXML

[Richard A. <ric...@ed...>]

Hello All,
  I'm doing some work with adding /changing model XML via the Change  
elements - I think we really need to state somewhere   that the added  
XML should be in its own namespace. As it stands,  arbritary XML  
contained in a NewXML element is included in  the SED-ML namespace.

E.g., currently ( for an SBML model, for example )
	<listOfChanges>
				<addXML target="/sbml:sbml/sbml:model/sbml:listOfParameters">
					<newXML>
						<parameter metaid="metaid_0000010" id="newParam1" value="0.7" />
						<parameter metaid="metaid_0000011" id="newParam2" value="0.7" />
					</newXML>
				</addXML>
			</listOfChanges>

is  currently valid, but I think  it should be:

	<listOfChanges>
				<addXML target="/sbml:sbml/sbml:model/sbml:listOfParameters">
					<newXML>
						<parameter xmlns="http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level2"  
metaid="metaid_0000010" id="newParam1" value="0.7" />
						<parameter xmlns="http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level2"  
metaid="metaid_0000011" id="newParam2" value="0.7" />
					</newXML>
				</addXML>
			</listOfChanges>

Or, declare in the toplevel of the sedML, for example.
<sedML xmlns:sbml="http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level2" ... >
...
<listOfChanges>
				<addXML target="/sbml:sbml/sbml:model/sbml:listOfParameters">
					<newXML>
						<sbml:parameter metaid="metaid_0000010" id="newParam1"  
value="0.7" />
						<sbml:parameter  metaid="metaid_0000011" id="newParam2"  
value="0.7" />
					</newXML>
				</addXML>
			</listOfChanges>


Cheers
Richard
