[Posted on behalf of Mr Jon Spinosa who asked me to post in here in private correspondence] [In relation to Time Ordering being important + useful and XML's ability to capture it] Another good example that supports Sean's assertion is in medical care. Clinical practice guidelines (ie---treatment protocols) almost always have a time _and_ sequence based aspect which is expressed implicitly or explicitly in the clinical narrative. Being able to model this in XML could protentially allow "engines" that could make sure things get done in the proper order and time. This is extremely hard to accomplish currently using only RDMS technology alone or programmatically because the observations of the health care providers seldom fit the nice cubby holes needed for the program. Sorry for the poor description but I am behind in my Holiday gift shopping. John Spinosa john@s... Sean Mc Grath sean@d...
