XFML version 0.1 was published at http://xfml.org on May 30, 2002. We hope to quickly move to a stable version 1.0 (Summer 2002). This list is for everyone:...
I've been getting lots of feedback via email on the XFML spec. So far, the issues identified are: - having pages and topics in the same map could lead to...
I designed XFML partly because I have a content management system and wanted something better to drive its navigation, with more flexibility. If anyone is...

Hi, I've read the xfml spec and the tutorial and found it very interesting, I have some questions and ideas to share. 1) Why the spec doesn't use namespaces? I...
Hi Luis, ... The short answer: ease of use. RDF uses namespaces because they need to be able to indicate what a certain tag means. We don't have to do that, ...
... Well I may admit your point but I still believe that namespaces will be needed in a near future. ... Good, let me know when you have something ready to be ...
... Mmm.. I'm worried adding namespaces will delay the adoption of XFML so much as to make it irrelevant... ... I will :) The code will be ugly, but hopefully...
... I'm gonna see if I can read up on this stuff.. Gotta hone those coding skills! Go ahead and make suggestions, I'd love to hear what you come up with..I've...
I checked out XFML last week. Looks interesting! I wanted to make sure you are aware of the Zthes DTD for thesauri. It offers some interesting ways of...
... Hi David, the reason I decided on parent-child relations between topics only, is that it seems to take care of about 90% of many people's needs, while...
How complicating would it be to recast as an application of the Topic Map Reference Model (see http://www.y12.doe.gov/sgml/sc34/document/0298R1.htm) i.e. make...

Hi David, I didn't know of the Reference Model, thanks for pointing that out. It sounds like it wants to solve a number of problems XFML isn't concerned with: ...
Hi all, I've just written a proof-of-concept of an RDF serialization for XFML. Representing XFML as RDF has the following advantages: * Brings a notation that...
Hi Luis, you are amazing! That is very cool: I can't find anything that seems wrong. I really like all the advantages you mention, and it actually fits ...
I'll work on the stylesheet, just a quick note: the annotated commented document in the xfml spec is not well formed :-) It starts with a <xmfl> tag. Just...
Hi, ... Maybe use the example document from the spec (which is well formed I think) http://xfml.org/spec/example.xml Looking forward to the results! Peter...
Greetings, Just joined the list. The move to RDF is great news -- an authoring tool in Mozilla would be a piece of cake, as RDF is it's primary data storage ...
Hi Andy, good to see you in the group! Here is how I see adding XFML data to a website may work: I have a website and a bunch of pages. Maybe I post a weblog....
... Especially since I'm writing a proof-of-concept one myself as well :) (just a simple form interface that posts results, and I won't spend too much time on...
Hi Luis, very funky stuff! ... I agree,   is the way forward. ... I agree again. I am waiting a week or so longer before finalizing the XFML spec (I don't...
Hi, I've been trying to write my (first ever!) DTD for XFML and I have a problem. When trying to validate the example file of the spec, I get the error...

... what I'm ... This is what I think your problem is: In the DTD you've said <!ELEMENT publisher (name | ordername? | url? )> which means publisher can have...
Hi all, You can't force an element to be "ID" nor you can force an element to refer to the content of another element using DTDs, you can do it using...
... The spidering idea is intriguing. Instead of looking at a published XFML file, you could spider the site and grab the data (as RDF) from every page. The...
Hi David, thanks! (I'm on the topicmapmail list as well, but thanks for showing it to the other people on this list who aren't on that list) I get the idea...
