Subject: RE: [egov] Groups - Taxonomy glossary 2004-06-14 uploaded
Maewyn Congratulations on bringing together great set of definitions of relevant terms, but why did you not use half of them? One term seems to be missing, Topic Maps. The following extracts from ISO 13250 can be used to summarise them: "Topic maps enable multiple, concurrent views of sets of information objects. Topic maps can be used to link topics together in such a way as to enable navigation between them. This capability can be used for creating thesaurus-like interfaces to corpora, knowledge bases, etc." I would like to suggest the following additional terms that can be associated with your existing definitions, the vast majority of which are taken from your current definitions: C12 Business Information Entity (BIE), Generic identifier (GI), Entity, Instance C13 Attribute, Property C14 Content Model Fragment, Entity Fragment C16 Datatype Range C17 Datatype Pattern (I have problems with distinguishing Syntax encoding scheme from Encoding scheme here) C18 Classification, Subject Directory (and Vocabulary should be Controlled Vocabulary, for reasons well explained in the definitions) C20.2 Classification, Directory/Folder/File Tree C20.3 Polyhierarchical Taxonomy (but not Taxonomy), Multifaceted Classification (but not Classification Scheme as Classification schemes should only contain See Also type links, not direct hierarchical links) C20.4 Topic Map C30 Topic Map, Crosswalk C31 Topic Map, Crosswalk, Ontology, Metadata Mapping (rather than Mapping) Please note that in the definition of C15 you need to remove "of an".
