You package the xml file under a common subdirectory with any and all files that it references and once you know the location of the xml file in filespace then you know the absolute location of all of the referenced files. The global library contains both the xml file and all of its referenced files. You reference all xml files by their identifier and this must be unique. No two components can have the same id and the vlnv scheme will guarantee that happens. Everybody has a full and complete name but we seldom use it. Your name may be John Henry Smith III but most of the time you will be called John. When you are at a family reunion you are John the Third and in a situation with other Johns you will be John Smith. You must put the full name in every xml file and let each tool flow use what they need based on the situation.

Roland,

You should conside= r borrowing some things that IP-Xact does in their files:

1) Unique Identifiers split into separate fields. Each IP-= Xact file has a VLNV identifier with Vendor name, Library name ,Component n= ame and version. That is a good start but we will need more.

Only applicable to some flows. The form= at should allow, but not demand such things.

2) All file references are given relative = to the location of the xml file. This solves the search path problem.

That=E2=80=99s certainly a big= change (not entirely crazy, though). Won=E2=80=99t work with global librar= ies, especially if you design on multiple machines. Good application for Ap= ple=E2=80=99s new copy-on-write file system.

It will w= ork with global libraries. You package the xml file under a common subdirec= tory with any and all files that it references and once you know the locati= on of the xml file
