Great ideas are usually obvious ideas. I have been a 'pattern-head' ever since Christopher Alexander's books were mentioned in context of software engineering. Patterns in software design lead naturally to patterns in information design. XML design patterns are subpatterns of general information design patterns just like database schema design patterns. IMHO, we have greater opportunity to exploit the design patterns in information engineering than software engineering because automated application of design patterns is easier with structured information such as XML than with programming languages. XML design pattern activities are just starting to appear. I have heard that an article will appear on XML.com soon. As soon as I can find some spare time, I intend to build a repository for XML Design Patterns which will allow the XML community to pool design knowledges, to evolve them as the community evolves, and hopefully, to apply the patterns automatically using tools that use the repository as a knowledge-base.
