Subject: Re: [xtm-wg] Simplified requirements
[murray] > The big problem I have is similar to Lars > Marius' complaint: where does one store <resourceData>? Surely the "where" is "up to the application"? I must not be understanding your question precisely. We need to be careful about assuming typed properties as a given, because that is most convenient for an OO program or an OO database. Maybe some programs don't want the overhead of making every node an object. > how does one keep track of the complex structure without losing it in > a graph? I don't see why "losing" anything is necessary. Network administrators, for example, use graphs to FIND things, exactly because graphs are isomorphic (the same shape as) their networks.
