[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: An alternative formulation of the document-centric/data-ce
 I
always thought so, but I'm not so sure. It is pretty easy to take an LSA
record
and
create an Illustrated Parts Breakdown. It is hard to go in the other
direction.
It is
somewhat like treating time as a fourth dimension; it really isn't because it
isn't
reversible except in simulation. I can generate multiple
representations
out of
my schema database including ERDs and HTML tables. It is fairly
straightforward to go from HTML tables back to relational tables, but not
so
easy to go from the ERDs in VML back to relational tables.
From
<p> to <partno>, information is gained. In the other
direction, it is
lost. How does your continuum hypothesis work with
that?
As
data is assembled into documents, it gains semantics. So is the
DocTypeSpectrum a semantic continuum?
