Change proposal description

The BuildingsBase.xsd is importing the BaseTypes.xsd in version 3.3. Proposal is to import the latest BaseTypes.xsd in version 4.0 instead.

Issue faced

The latest BuildingBase schema is not using the latest BaseTypes schema

Expected behaviour

The current version of a schema is using the current version of imported schemas

Current behaviour

Not the latest version of the BaseTypes schema is imported.

Proposed solution

Import the BaseTypes.xsd to BuildingsBase.xsd in version 4.0 instead in version 3.3

Additional information

Dear @JohannaOtt,

sorry for the late reply.

For schemas for which no major update has been made, such as BuildingsBase, we have decided to keep the import of the old BaseTypes schema (i.e. version 3.3) so as not to break existing implementations due to the namespace change (from http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/base/3.3 to http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/base/4.0).

Since the BaseTypes schema defines the inspireId element, which is used by all schemas, updating the BaseTypes schema in all other schemas would have resulted in an error in all currently harmonized datasets. Therefore even in datasets for which there has not been a change in the version of the relevant schema.

I hope this helps to clarify.
