Re: [tm-pubsubj-comment] updated documents

Thanks Bernard for updating the Recommendations.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tm-pubsubj/docs/recommendations/psdoc.htm

This looks like it is beginning to take shape. I would like these to be 
considered for Section 5. User case and examples.

3.3.1. Subject indicator set:  unspsc-71.htm
3.1.2 Subject identifier set: unspsc-71.xtm
3.1.3 Documentation Description in  unspsc-71.htm
3.1.4 Document Metadata in header of unspsc-71.htm
3.1.5 Subject Formal Assertions: unspsc-core.xtm
3.1.6 Subject indicator metadata in header of unspsc-71.htm

You will find the files here:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tm-pubsubj/docs/mni/

The xtm files (unspsc-71.xtm and unspsc-core.xtm) can be loaded into 
Omnigator. You really get a better sense of how this would be used. I was 
pleased to see that the www.purl.org/mnishikawa redirect actually worked 
well and resolved to the fragments for each indicator in the unspsc-71.html 
file. Everything is human readable (as well as the links to the indicators) 
and the xtm files can be processed.

Please look at the source of the html file to see the metadata. (This is 
readable and can be processed too.)

This is the simplest implementation that I can think of for this set of 
subject indicators. There are only three files and all of the metadata is 
included in the html file. I went the route of using fragment identifiers 
for the subject indicators because it follows  the web pages that the 
Electronic Commerce Code Management Association has publicly on the Web now.

I think that this would be the easiest implementation for them to follow. 
They store their classification in a DB and generate html files with 
updates to the segment code sets quarterly for  public use. Their public 
files do not contain EGCI (Global Commodity Identifier) which are usually 
reserved for members only, but I have received permission to add it to my 
html file as an example. This makes the most sense to use for the subject 
indicators for a TM application.

I think that we need to follow as closely as possible to each legacy 
classification/ontology if we want this to catch on. It should be easy to 
implement, and not be too costly or time consuming.

I think that this could also work for the Library of Congress, and would 
like to know how feasible this would be for them to do. It seems reasonable 
to me to keep a classification/code set in a DB and them generate these 
kinds of html files later as the ECCMA does.

I look forward to your feedback.


Best regards,
Mary
