[putting on my technology bulletproof vest and marketing glasses] Embrace and extend... sounds REALLY familiar ;-> At least we admit it's not XPath... And we ARE talking technology... if I was talking marketing; I would let you call it XPath ;-> [returning to reality... ;->] Ciao, Chris --------------------------------------- Chris Parkerson Product Manager eXcelon Corporation Burlington, MA (781) 674-5393 http://www.exceloncorp.com --------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Champion, Mike [mailto:Mike.Champion@S...] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 11:03 AM To: xml-dev@l...

One of my colleagues has written a nice article explaining what Tamino does to "embrace and extend" XPath and why: http://www.softwareag.com/xml/library/harbarth_X-Query.htm > It's a fact, they know it, For better or worse, Tamino developers invented a simple schema language long before the W3C XSD even took shape, and invented the term "X-Query" to describe the XPath+wildcards language before the W3C decided to call their effort "XQuery". Speaking of XQuery and the XML community, I invite interested people download our prototype implementation of the language at http://www.softwareag.com/developer/download.htm and express opinions on the language and/or the implementation in the XML Query forum at http://forums.tamino.com/3/OpenTopic [taking off my marketing hat and hoping that we can focus on TECHNOLOGY on this list -- hint, hint!] ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
