[topicmapmail] Strawman proposal for XML Common Logic 1.0

[Murray Altheim]

[I sent an announcement into the CG list earlier today on this same
subject. My apologies for those who receive this twice. I thought it
might be of interest to those in the TM community also.]

All,

I've posted a strawman proposal for an XML Common Logic syntax at:

   http://purl.org/xcl/

This PURL will also enable establishment of published subjects for XCL
concepts, such as

   http://purl.org/xcl/1.0/biology#Cat
   http://purl.org/xcl/1.0/spatial#On-Physical
   http://purl.org/xcl/1.0/household#Mat

so we can talk about and share canonical concepts as in RDF/OWL and
XTM. PSIs are described in the XTM 1.0 Specification and are the
subject of several OASIS technical committees (you can google on
OASIS Published Subjects if interested).

This is intended as a discussion document rather than any idea that
it represents any community consensus, or that it is stable or
functional. There are a list of goals that may assist in deciding
which goals are desirable for the CL/XCL standard itself (whatever
it is named in the end). I don't for a moment think this strawman
is currently functional, so please be gentle.

Murray
