Subject: RE: [legalxml-econtracts] FW: J McClure RDF proposal for structural markup
Hi Peter >John now appears to be saying that the structural markup >must use RDF in order to support linking In last night's Citation Reqs memo, no explicit or implicit role for RDF is identified -- insofar as structural markup is concerned. I am proposing though that RDF be used to record metadata about the contract document. I am not proposing any longer that RDF be used in any way for structural markup or for linking purposes. If you feel that the RDF Proposal for the Clause Model needs now to be formally withdrawn, then consider it done. I withdraw the RDF Proposal, without qualification. I do propose a "Clause Model" in the Citation Reqs memo, one that is based on XML Namespaces, a topic and technology that I understand we are now freer to discuss than when constrained by the "preliminary consensus" achieved last spring. This is *not* a new initiative from me. As many know, I have been urging since 2001 that we support XML Namespaces. The difference this time around is that I have provided proof that a standard that does not explicitly support CSS styling, and does not use Namespaces, is seriously flawed when it comes to support for linking. Regards, John
