Why compete with RDDL? http://www.rddl.org With RDDL you simultaneously get both human readable and machine readable information about the XML vocabulary. RDDL attributes are simply added to XHTML pages. OASIS Open uses the RDDL specification and here are the namespace URI pages for two of the standard XML vocabularies I've worked on in the code list technical committee: http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/ns/genericode/1.0/ http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/ns/ContextValueAssociation/1.0/ I've published a free stylesheet to help people write RDDL pages for their namespace URIs: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/#showrddl There is no standard layout for an XHTML/RDDL page ... it can be whatever you want and you can point to whatever resources you want. It is all useful information and both human and machine discoverable through the namespace URI. >This should contain not only schemas (of any >kind) but also rules for transformations between different namespaces. It shouldn't contain anything but pointers to all of the possible things that might be of interest to users of the XML vocabulary. >I think this is an important standard (when I >will release a good draft), but we need work on >its promotion to become an agreed industry >standard. Your help to promote it could be essential. I think promoting something that competes with an established practice doesn't help the existing community of users. I hope this is considered helpful, especially if you've not heard of RDDL before. . . . . . . . . . .
