Re: FW: FpML-AWG View generation syntax

Personally, I would still hesitate to call it a duck, or a conceptual model. Put it this way - I like to think that at some time in the future, we will have a model for FpML in the ISO 20022 repository. That to me would be the conceptual model. The existence of that model wouldn't preclude the existence and use of a master Schema as it is planned to use it now.
So, I guess that I don't like the idea of identifying the master Schema as the conceptual model, because I don't want any kind of "overloading of nomenclature" being a bar to the future creation of a conceptual model that *isn't* written in an XML schema language. 

Cheers, Tony.

The point I was making is that "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a
duck, I would call it a duck." We use the Master Schema as a conceptual
model to generate view-specific schemas, and it has the characteristics of 
a conceptual model. Ducks come in many shapes, sizes, and colours and in
the same way conceptual models differ from each other, but they are all
still conceptual models.

I would call it a duck.
