Title: TC Core Documents
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that I have uploaded new versions
of HM.frameworks and HMI.glossary, standardizing
text-only presentation and going into greater comprehensiveness. These
have yet to be edited by Kurt Cagle and put into basic XML on their
way to being transformed through XSLT into XHTML in the simplest, most
direct web presentation we can build hewing to the presentation style
and formats of W3D and other OASIS TCs.
We are inviting comments and suggestions.Warning: frameworks is
rather massive, weighing in at 9,000 plus words. And that is admitted
missing quite a few entries for such areas as military disciplines and
many of the arts which are so interpretation-bound that attempting to
approach a description of what is standard was simply beyond our (my)
ability at this time.
Included in these new versions are working definitions for
all ontological frameworks and standard definitions for the glossary
to ensure harmonization with existing XML usages, OASIS usages, W3C
usages, academic usages and business usages.
This is what is meant by moving into Phase 1 and once these
documents have been processed into XML they become true working drafts
for us. Note, while we strive to keep the language as small and
adaptable as we can make it, our informing documents actually need to
be as comprehensive as they can be to ensure that our basis of
research and study is solid.
Also, just in case you were not aware of it, I believe this
practice makes us among the first to adopt a comprehensive approach to
putting all of our concrete committee work into comprehensive and
fully compliant well-formed XML form.
Kurt has already processed the HM.requirements document, so it
may be referred to in order to get an idea of what we are doing, where
we are going and why our documents remain in text-only form until so
processed, so that we do not have to spend time deleting one or
another set of formatting commands and codes in order to put our
documents into their penultimate form before we start pouring concrete
to set them in figuratively final form.
I am currently working on HM.applications, and other members are
working on others of these documents. As stated earlier, we welcome
comments and suggestions and if you would like to take on a document
with which you would like perform a similar service, please let us
know with a realistic, projected ETA. (Note, frameworks took more than
100 hours, glossary took more than 30, so these tasks are decidedly
largish commitments.
Ciao,
Rex
