Sending this again because it didn't seem to get through last time. Peter -----Original Message----- From: Peter Jones Sent: 17 January 2001 15:57 To: 'xml-dev@l...' Subject: ANN: SIX 1.0 Spec. Online The Specification for SIX v.1.0 is now available online for comment at http://www.inpreparation.com/six/ SIX is designed to provide a uniform transport and interchange syntax for many types of data or information structures. It is designed to support the transport of representations of both data and information, and any relationships between them in single documents. It is envisaged that the types of information transported between parties will be agreed by those parties in advance where necessary. The specification does not state significant processing restrictions in order to facilitate creative use of SIX. I hope to be able to post a nice example of SIX at work soon. The use model I envisage is that of SIX plus SAX plus XSLT (plus knowledgebase, database, agent, or whatever). In the meantime, I have created a small example of an agent aided database transaction SIX document below. Please post comments directly or cc'ed to me (as I am only subscribed to the digest for xml-dev and I don't want to miss any). I hope it proves to be useful. Sincerely, Peter J Please note that my email address does not imply any endorsement of SIX by my employer, Wrox. The Example: You could pass Stuff between databases in an agent-aided fashion. <?xml version="1.0" ?> <six type="http://mydb.org/six/dbtype.cgi?schematype=777"> <statement ID="DB1" grouped="yes" namespace="mydb.org/DB-0A1" > <subject> <predicate predicatename="has-part-types"> <object objstring="part"></object> </predicate> </subject> <object objstring="AB"></object> <object objstring="CD"></object> <object objstring="EF"></object> <wcvar varstring="GH"></wcvar> </statement> <statement ID="DB3" grouped="yes" namespace="mydb.org/DB-0A1" > <subject> <predicate predicatename="has-cost-price"> <object objstring="#567"></object> <object objstring="#578"></object> <object objstring="#599"></object> <object objstring="#677"></object> <wcvar varstring="#899"></wcvar> </predicate> </subject> <object objstring="5.99" ></object> </statement> <statement ID="DB3" namespace="mydb.org/DB-0A1"> <subject> <predicate predicatename="is-type"> <object objstring="#567"></object> <object objstring="#599"></object> ... </predicate> <object objstring="AB"></object> </subject> </statement> <statement ID="DB4" reciprocal="yes" namespace="mydb.org/DB-0A1" > <subject> <predicate predicatename="has-alias"> <object objstring="part"></object> </predicate> </subject> <object objstring="y_part"></object> <object objstring="xPart"></object> <wcvar varstring="Partypart"></wcvar> </statement> <statement ID="DB5" reciprocal="yes"> <subject> <predicate predicatename="permitted-map-to-namespace"> <object objstring="mydb.org/DB-0A1"></object> </predicate> </subject> <object objstring="yourdb.org/BigDB-x98"></object> ... </statement> <ruledoc type="RulesML" rulesref="http://..." >Some text describing the RulesML ruleset for inferencing over this metadata</ruledoc> ... <ruledoc type="..." rulesref="http://..." ></ruledoc> </six>
