* Mary Nishikawa | | [...] published subjects are essential for both the Semantic Web | Working Group Activities and for Topic Maps, and I am very glad that | Eric Miller is here, because we can really get to something great | working together on this. So, I am all for having the metadata in | both XTM and RDF. I agree completely. Eric, it would be nice if you could help us design an RDF version of 3166-basic.xtm (and 639-basic.xtm). Basically, what we have is one URI for each country, plus an English name, a French name, and three string codes. How would you model that in RDF? (If you want to discuss this on IRC you know where to find me. :-) | Steve is right, tables are easy for people to read. I am coming from | the perspective of working on html table conversions to CALS tables, | and I have a personal aversion to them so please don't mind my | prejudice ;-)) No problem. :) I was a bit worried about it, myself. | You probably already looked at the original html and text files for | 3166 posted by ISO | http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/index.html. I | think that it would be a good idea to keep our published subjects as | close as possible to the originals. They also provide ASCII versions | which we may also want to consider, but it may not be necessary. I don't see what we would do with ASCII versions. I think their idea is to provide something machine-processable, but we already have that, and in a much more powerful form. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > ISO SC34/WG3, OASIS GeoLang TC <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
