Re: [uoml-discuss] UOML discuss subject one - Proposed UOML TC Name& Statement of Purpose

[Charles Schulz <charles-h.schulz@arsaperta.com>]

Dear Pine Zhang, dear all,

thank you for your message. Ars Aperta agrees to the proposed items you
have written and we would like to seize this opportunity for thanking
the Sursen company for pushing the UOML forward.

Nonetheless, Ars Aperta would like to add one more item: that UOML must
be based on the RelaxNG schema, or at least must be able to integrate
any RelaxNG-based XML schemas.

RelaxNG schema is the default base schemas for several interoperable
standards and formats, the OpenDocument Format being one of them.

Some interesting links :
