Hi Travis, From a discussion on the facetedclassification list: in Facetmap, can a resource (or whatever we call it) be classified in multiple facets. (facets...
This is something we covered last month when Albert wanted to assign a resource to two values in the same facet. To recap, the engine running at facetmap.com...
... So it's more a matter of initial software decisions not the spec? This sort of honesty about implementation versus specification can /really/ do a lot to...
... Facetmap was developed *before* the XFML spec was finished or (I believe) even made public in its early stages - Facetmap is not *based* on XFML. We kind...
Whoa there pardner. For starters, I'm not sure what you mean by "the spec". Facetmap was developed to a spec that's different from the spec produced by XFML....
... Yes, a lot of *new* thinking comes from Facetmap, taking faceted classification and such beyond the library tradition, which is exactly where it should go....
Hi Murray, I make no claims what-so-ever about depth of analysis. But I have spent a little time looking at both XTM and XFML when implementing them in ...
Hello XFMLers, I'm new to this group, and currently trying to work out the implications of XFML. I have a question which probably indicates that I'm...
... Mapping between taxonomies is one of the features of XFML. Think more in the line of connecting a topic 'price under £10' in one XFML-map to a topic...
... You're right, it doesn't make sense to do that. You'd only draw equivalencies between similar topics -- Albert's example connecting 'under £10' and 'under...
XFML is just a way to exchange facetmaps, an interchange format, with the additional functionality of <psi> and <connect> that lets you build connections...
Thanks Travis (and thanks Peter and Albert too, for useful and clear comments). I think you have all reassured me that my understanding is correct - thank you!...
Hi everyone, I just spent a couple of hours trying to implement an XFML importer for our topic map software suite, and found it pretty easy going. My main...
Hi Lars, Nice to see you here! ... Glad to hear that :) ... Sounds reasonable. Maybe an ammendment to the spec is needed? Comments? (If we're gonna ammend the...
... I will write more detail later, but: yes! I definitely think a XFML => XTM mapping document (including some XTM psi's) would be a very useful doc and be...
A comment on the o'reilly article requested a namespace. http://www.xml.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/981 Input please :) This is over my head. Any ideas about a...
I think what he's referring to is the ability to embed XFML documents within other documents, so <svg> <svg-tags> <xfml ...> <facet id="f01">liveTopics</facet>...
That sounds right. So how do we give XFML a namespace? (Can't think of a reason why not to) Peter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blog: http://poorbuthappy.com/ease...
The easiest route would probably be to create a purl. That's what RSS does. http://purl.org/xfml/1.0 would be a good start. Either that or just invent one of...
The idea behind the URI (that's ewe are eye, not URL) is that it's a pointer. That pointer is how a program consuming the XML understands what the prefix ...
Hey y'all -- I'm looking for a good sample file or two to include with the release of FacetMap software. That's right, not only do you get to run FacetMap on...
Well, as I developed the play-at-home version of facetmap, I finally got the chance to update facetmap terms so that they were more like XFML terms. This meant...
