Subject: [xtm-wg] Knowledge management claims re XTM (and Topic Maps...)
Hi folks... I don't know if you discussed this at all in Montreal, but I am very concerned that XTM should encourage/facilitate good working-with the long-standing academic knowledge-engineering community by a) being (very) moderate and realistic in its claims for XTM *by itself* as a knowledge modelling technique - XTM's main strength could well be in providing the "hooks" which enable the wide range of established knowledge modelling techniques to link to Web resources, and also in providing simple exchangeable *static* representations of (some) such models; b) working with folks who have done eg semantic modelling for years, rather than trying to (re)invent ways of doing it without the benefit of that experience. This concern is based on back-of-room conversations at XML Europe, where I found myself trying to bring some experienced knowledge engineers "back down off the ceiling", and into a more realistically appreciative frame of mind regarding Topic Maps, after some rash claims from the podium...
