Right. As the precision of a semantic definition increases, its frequency decreases. A box is a box is a box is a box. A part number is not. Also related to Boltzman entropy. This relates directly to Roger's thread and population and evolution. The billion dollar question is: so but so what? Do paragraph tags evolve? Can they? What about semantic tags? A <p> can become a member of almost any language. A <partno> can't. What does that say about a namespace partitioning of <p>? Is it gratuitous? Were the arch forms guys right? Did the <p> evolve/speciate into the <div>? Thanks Sean. That's useful. If you want to have more fun, plot it against users and semantic implementation (the three dimensional view). The results should be totally unsurprising. len From: Sean McGrath [mailto:sean.mcgrath@p...] Document-centric XML: XML in which corpora conforming to schema X, exhibit power law distributions of the element types in X. Data-centric XML: XML in which corpora conforming to schema X, exhibit uniform distributions of the element types in X. Not perfect but useful nonetheless I think. Mixed content is missing for a start. Anyway, please take a look at the graphs at: http://seanmcgrath.blogspot.com/2004_05_23_seanmcgrath_archive.html#10857620 2776583412 I'd be very interested in seeing other peoples graphs of the tag-share of their XML corpora.
