I am working on a proof of concept piece of code that will let you create and manage XFML maps. I expect it to be working end this week. Hopefully then you can...

... Why do you need a list of pages at all? Given the usage scenarios, if you want to include anything in the XFML file besides the taxonomy then I would think...
If you look at it semantically, I do understand pages: - in a ontology you decide what language you will use, let's say the objects - in a taxonomy you use...
... Because one of the core goals of XFML is to reuse indexing work others have done. That's a very powerful concept. If person A has indexed their website,...
I have just come across the XFML pages and joined this list, so please excuse any misunderstandings, or if this topic has been discussed before. I am on a...
What are the views of the XFML people on the other DTDs that have been developed for controlled vocabularies, such as Zthes <http://zthes.z3950.org/> or VocML ...
... My two cents: I think you'll find not only that such a mapping is a critical step in information technology, but also that it allows more concrete...

... You're right, definitions are a problem. I'll try to use 'hierarchy' instead of 'taxonomy' in the future (if I slip just read 'hierarchy'). As for the...
... Have the library people found practical situations in which facets don't work anymore and was that why they felt the need to introduce these 'groupings...

... This is the latest DTD (for those of you who read DTD's). I decided (for now) to focus XFML on sharing categories and not to attempt to turn it into a...

Hi Leonard, ... But why not have a "number of wheels" facet and a "load carried" facet and combine them like that? That's what I'm not getting. Why can facets ...
... FacetMap faces a lot of the same issues, but its goal is implementation in software, so it makes sense to accommodate as many languages as possible, for...

Well, I sympathize that RSS is volatile and contentious (though this could be viewed as an opportunity rather than a problem). But I don't see how RSS can be...
