Organize GENC codes in the release package more consistently #176

Closed cdmgtri closed 4 years ago

cdmgtri commented 4 years ago

The package layout for GENC is inconsistent with all of the other code set schemas since GENC also includes code lists. GENC is the only one to have a subfolder under the xsd/codes directory.

Current:

​xsd/
  codes/
    genc/
      - genc.xsd   # inconsistent with all of the other code schemas
      - genc_geo-division_3-11_char6.csv
      - genc_geo-political_3-11_char2.csv
      - xml-catalog.xml
    - aamva_d20.xsd
    - ag_codes.xsd

Alternative 1

Create a new xsd/code-lists directory just for the CSVs

Option 1:

​xsd/
  codes/
    - aamva_d20.xsd
    - ag_codes.xsd
    - genc.xsd
  code-lists/
    genc/
      - genc_geo-division_3-11_char6.csv
      - genc_geo-political_3-11_char2.csv
      - xml-catalog.xml

Alternative 2

Inline all of the genc files under xsd/codes

​xsd/
  codes/
    - aamva_d20.xsd
    - ag_codes.xsd
    - genc.xsd
    - genc_geo-division_3-11_char6.csv
    - genc_geo-political_3-11_char2.csv
    - xml-catalog.xml

NTAC proposes:

- codes/
   - genc.xsd
   - genc/
      - genc_*.csv
      - xml-catalog.xml

It makes subsets more consistent for those omitting the CSV files. It makes it easy to later consistently add CSVs for existing code lists. It's unsurprising and obvious that genc/ contains support stuff for genc.xsd.
