[xtm-wg] Announcement of XTM 1.0

["Michel Biezunski" <mb@infoloom.com>]

Version 1.0 of XTM has been released and announced on the
plenary session of the XML 2000 Conference.

Version 1.0 is made of :
- core deliverables (DTD, conformance clause, published subjects). This is
now fixed, and can be used as a basis for implementing topic maps.

- the rest of the specification needs editorial improvement, and is entering
a
review period by the Authoring Group especially for achieving full
consistency
between the parts written by various authors. Time was too short for us to
complete this task, despite the tremendous amount of work accomplished by
the editorial team.

- The Paris meeting (January 19-20-21) will be the end of the review
process.
Final specification should be available for distribution at the Knowledge
Technologies
Conference in Austin, Texas, early March.

The spec is available at www.topicmaps. org.

Thank you to all of the members of the Authoring Group who have made this
possible.
We have accomplished a great achievement by releasing on time. We still are
not done
with XTM. On the contrary, it looks like it's just the beginning of exciting
times.

Michel
