Subject: RE: [ubl-ndrsc] XML and Polymorphism
Matt is working for: http://www.westbridgetech.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- I'm finally clear on exactly what you mean by "polymorphism" with the explanation of: "an element could be identified to the processor with many different names (all of the names of its ancestors)". A more simplistic term may be "backward name aware" processor, but it doesn't sound nearly as good as "polymorphic" processor ;-) Jessica -----Original Message----- From: A Gregory [mailto:agregory@aeon-llc.com] Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 4:07 AM To: Eve L. Maler; Matthew Gertner Cc: UBL NDR Subject: RE: [ubl-ndrsc] XML and Polymorphism Eve: In my experience, the term "polymorphism" is actually used this way pretty often among the tiny community of those who care ;-) The way Matt Fuch intended it was that, because an element could be identified to the processor with many different names (all of the names of its ancestors) it was 'polymorphic'. It makes sense if you think about Java binding the way Matt Fuchs does, although it is certainly not immediately obvious how it is intended. Matt has presented on this subject to the OMG and in some other places, though, so don't blame me and eDuardo(!) Matt: Matthew Fuchs gave a presentation at the last XML 2002 conference (Baltimore), so his contact info should be in the proceedings. He's working for a company that does something with security, if I remember right. I don't have my copy of the proceedings, but somebody should, and I can look up his contact info when I get home (next week) if you don't find it before then.
