At last Friday's IPTC teleconference, I took an action to propose clearer wording for 'rank' in the NewsML-G2 specification. The existing wording is: rank...
Hi Michael, Thanks for your comments. I don't understand some of them. It is impossible to provide a meaningful definition of rank without using words such...
Hi Misha - I'm aware that explaining an ordered sequence without "after" and "before" could become tricky, then I propose to add that this is the order by...

Michael, Dave, Thanks for that. I understand why some providers might need a role for group. Currently, PA has no such requirement because the relationship ...
