RE: XML, hypertext


RE:  XML
Good for Steve.  He presses on.  One 
of the problems of selling others on the 
earlier works were that the sources for 
implementations came down to less than 
a handful.  Some open source implementations 
will be a big help.

... and a definitive FAQ as a guide to reading 
the standards themselves.   The ISO 10744 terminlogy 
with the DSSSL terminology did get excessively 
terse.

BTW:  For the person new to this list who is 
about to ask, "What are Groves?"  there are
some archived threads, eg, (The TAO of Groves) 
on XML-Dev, an excellent tutorial by Paul Prescod, 
and several other reference's listed at The Cover 
Pages on the OASIS site.   

http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/groves.html

I'd suggest one start with Paul's tutorial.

One might say in sly summary, "it's the data model, stupid!" 
but that hides the bog of the notion of a unifying data model 
and....sssshhhhs.... types and semantics.

Just in case Groves make a return, and I think they will, Graham Moore has 
started a Java implementation at http://sourceforge.net/projects/grove4j/
There is nothing there yet, but soon, I think, Graham will have the 
interface APIs in CVS in order to begin the development.

At the same time, I think Eric Freese and others may be bringing up a 
Python open source Grove engine.

All of this got catalyzed by Steven Newcomb's talk at Extreme Markup.
