Re: [xtm-wg] Topic Naming Constraint question

Hi Jan,

| My current solution is, to scope the names according to the context
| the user would think of when choosing one of the topic.

| Example:
| Amazonas is ambigous for Amazon State, Amazon Region and Amazon
| River.

That sounds both workable and useful in this example, though I guess I
would choose the topic type as the scoping topic rather than a mix of
subject area and type as in your example.

| I looked at XQL and XML-QL shortly, and it seems, one might
| distiguish them for example by the query format: linear or XML.

I don't think this is really a solution, either.  First of all, this
topic map is generated by a script, so there has to be a general
solution for all standards.  I can ask the script to read the
specifications to come up with an analysis like that! :-)

Secondly, this would imply that the type of query format somehow
limits the validity of the name, which is not the case.
