RE: [xtm-wg] Topic Naming Constraint question

My immediate reaction would be to say that "XML Query Language" should be
the basename not of these two topics but rather to a topic of which these
topics are "instanceOf" - both topics are being described as "an XML Query
Language" not "the XML Query Language".  This would also allow the question
"What XML query languages are there?" to be answered.

Subject: [xtm-wg] Topic Naming Constraint question



As I've posted earlier I have a topic map of free XML tools in XTM
format, and when processing this I discovered a problem with these two
topics:

  <topic id="S_XMLQL">
    <instanceOf>
      <topicRef xlink:href="#TMTT_Standard"></topicRef>
      </instanceOf>
    <baseName>
      <baseNameString>XML-QL</baseNameString>
      </baseName>
    <baseName>
      <baseNameString>XML Query Language</baseNameString>
      </baseName>
    </topic>

  <topic id="S_XQL">
    <instanceOf>
      <topicRef xlink:href="#TMTT_Standard"></topicRef>
      </instanceOf>
    <baseName>
      <baseNameString>XQL</baseNameString>
      </baseName>
    <baseName>
      <baseNameString>XML Query Language</baseNameString>
      </baseName>
    </topic>


They represent two different standards, with different acronyms, and
yet they share a common base name (the expansion of the acronym).
According to the topic naming constraint, these two topics should be
merged, which is NOT what I want.

The question is: what is an appropriate scope to use on these two base
names to avoid having the topics forcibly merged?
