Hi,

I'm preparing the first release of JS4EMF and have been pondering what
the official annotation URI should look like. This URI is used when
annotating EClasses with constraints, EOperations with the body etc. I
know it has not meaning, but it still should look "nice". I've used
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/js4emf/source for a while, and then noticed
that the corresponding OCL URI is
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL If I follow this pattern "my"
URI would be http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/js or
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/Javascript.

The question is: Is there any URI policy, so I don't select a URI that
doesn't fit nicely in?

Hallvard,

Keep in mind that the text used in the tree view for an EAnnotation is
computed like this:

public String getText(Object object)
{
EAnnotation eAnnotation = (EAnnotation)object;
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
if (eAnnotation.getSource() != null)
{
int index = getParent(eAnnotation) instanceof EAnnotation ? -1
: eAnnotation.getSource().lastIndexOf("/");
if (index == -1)
{
result.append(eAnnotation.getSource());
}
else
{
result.append(eAnnotation.getSource().substring(index + 1));
}
}
return result.toString();
}

So you'd definitely want the last segment to be descriptive and
relatively unique. Your last choice seems nice...

Yes, that's one reason the URI is not arbitrary. My current one is shown
as "source" and that isn't very descriptive when you may be using
several languages, like OCL AND Javascript.

So, defining the constant as EcoreURI + "/" + languageName could be a
generic pattern, where languageName in my case is "Javascript" (or "JS").
