Re: [xtm-wg] A challenge on "the graph"

["Bernard Vatant" <universimmedia@wanadoo.fr>]

Hello all

I'm working in communication with Pascal to try and leverage vocabulary and
representation, so as to make some concrete propositions to the community -
seemingly eager to see something coming out of the "professeurs" field
concerning the "graph challenge".
Please Murray, Sam, and others ... let them "professeurs" get a little more
time to swim in the XTM vocabulary and concepts before something consistent
is coming out of that. I'm pretty sure it will, even if I feel some sort of
underlying scepticism about the "academic approach" coming from you
implementers and markup guys. But are not we all preaching for global
knowledge interchange? And for that matter, leveraging vocabulary and
creating synergy between communities is even more challenging than system
interoperability, as we know all of us. OK we all need everything *now*, but
is it possible to delay *now* to a few days ?

It seems to me - and please all of you take for granted that is from a pure
technical viewpoint and whatever understanding I have of it all, and has
nothing to do with any ongoing process debate - that the clearest basis for
such a work is the one of Steve and Michel at
http://www.topicmaps.net/pmtm4.htm , which BTW I am in the process of trying
to understand all along, and the more I catch of it, the more I like it.

So I kindly - but strongly - suggest to Pascal to try and ground whatever
graph representation on this model.

Bernard
