Prose is great for lawyer but not for programmers. Being a late comer to both the XTM discussion groups and TMs in general, forgive me if this question either seems naive or has already been talked to death earlier, but... Is there any serious consideration being given by the XTM AG regarding the adoption of XML Schemas for the encoding both of the core syntax as well as for defining the standard Templates of commonly used ontologies? It seems that XML Schemas, and the XML Infoset, offer a number of attractive mechanisms addressing needs both at the interchange level as well as the KR level, that to date have been the focus of discussions mentioning UML, Groves, Achitectural Forms, etc. Rather than either adopt a non-XML solution (such as UML, AFs), or stay with an insufficient solution (DTDs), or create yet another schema language (XTM Schema?), why not work with the XML Schema and Infoset working groups to further the utility and benefit of those emerging standards? It seems to me that XML Schema, XML Infoset and XTM covers the whole spectrum from raw data to inference models. [I had tried to post a proposal to the group to that effect last week, but it seems it got lost somewhere along the way. I'll try to repost it...] Regards, Patrick -- Patrick Stickler Senior Specialist Customer Documentation Applications Nokia Information Management Nokia Networks Hatanpaankatu 1A 33101 Tampere Finland phone +358 3 25 74808 fax +358 3 25 75700 patrick.stickler@nokia.com -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> Thousands of Great Jobs, One Great Location!
