Where is the meaning in a DTD, schema or mapping info? If I give you <?xml version="1.0"?> <FOO/> How would a DTD/schema or mapping info help either you or the computer to understand it? They might help you to *process* it, which is an important goal, but it that is not the same as understanding it. I see virtue in the idea of the namespace referent being a known vocabulary with pointers to various processing specifications. But I don't call think that that would lead us to a "semantic web". Perhaps a more useful web, but not a semantic one. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for himself Just how compassionate can a Republican get before he has to leave the GOP and join Vegans for Global Justice? ... One moment, George W. Bush is holding a get-to-know-you meeting with a bunch of gay Republicans. The next he is holding forth on education or the environment ... It is enough to make a red-blooded conservative choke on his spotted-owl drumstick. - April 29th, Economist *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
