Thanks Dave. I'll reread the article. I agree syntactic capability can be reasonably defined. XML is proof of it by one means though there are others. As we know from the TAG discussions, it gets very difficult with semantics. Mindful of Noah's admonition about the irritability factor of this list, I'll defer adding to this thread more ruminations regarding how to identify and scope operation sets over discrete data sets. len From: Dave Orchard [mailto:orchard@p...] Hi Len, Another article might help.. http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/12/20/a-theory-of-compatible-versions.html One of the things that we have not been able to define at the TAG, and are currently shying away from, is defining information or semantic compatibility. My estimation is that syntactic compatibility can be defined in a reasonable amount of time, but that defining how sets of information or semantics are compatible is a doctoral thesis on it's own, if not more. Let me know if you (or anybody else) know(s) of something even modestly straightforward on how compatibility of information could be defined in any kind of mathematical sense, set or otherwise.
