Having just (perhaps justifiably -- I'm a bit naive in this field) been
taken to task for assuming that semantics implies the ability to
automagically determine meaning at the machine level, can I ask what you
mean here? Is this a human-readable description of each term?
Machine-readable? And do such descriptions bring anything to the actual
processing of a topic map or is it just to help the programmer at design
time?
