Hi Lars, Right now, there isn't any work being done on XFML 2.0. That doesn't mean it won't be done in the future, but as far as I know nobody's working on it...
Hi Peter, Has XFML been abandoned by its parent? Could you shed some light on why you lost interest in XFML development? Taxomita looked promising... Albert...
Albert, Further development of Taxomita has been indeed abandoned. Reasons are personal: I am trying to spend less time on geekery, and more time on other...
To stoke the fire a bit more (but not necessarily Peter's fire, since I do applaud spending plenty of time on unwired tasks -- especially after releasing...
I can see several directions that XFML 2.0 could head in. * low level format fiddling, to make life easier for tool makers. Things like some attributes being...
... I have neve understood that request. Why on earth would anyone want to construct a facetmap (ie. A taxonomy) graphically? Really? If anyone feels that need...
Has anyone given any thought to developing various web services utilising xfml? What I have in mind is the possibility of multiple servers sharing around the...
Hi Eric, I thought about this a while back when I was developing Taxomita. But I just don't have time (or the technical chops) to pursue this... Peter ... ...
I believe the current XFML spec says it's an error for two topics in the one map to be connected via <connect> ... but ... I'm building a map right now for a...
Hi Eric, Wouldn't it make more sense to do it like this? Facet: characters - Mr Thring - Thring Jnr - Mr Ostletop - Unc Ostletop - ... Facet: Show - Thrings -...
... Firstly, I'm classifying blog posts, not characters or episodes. (Don't know about you, but I don't think of blog posts being either male or female. Wordy...
... is anyone else interested? I'm working on a proof of concept, making it up as I go along... So far, I can: * ask for a list of all the facets, in XML * ask...
Have you seen this XFML parser (visual basic)? I don't know much about it but it might be of interest... http://www.jeremyshantz.com/software/xfml/cardinal/ ...
When browsing the facet map top-down (ie. using the facets/topics), it's reasonable to only require one URL in the data model ... but when querying the facet...
... That's more of a general URL problem than a typical XFML problem. ... You could add an extra canonical meta tag URL to your page. In a prefect world...
... Yes - the recent referrer log thingies on blog posts hit the same problem. Hence "This would have uses outside of my little facetmap tool, too". I know...
Hmm, I was hoping to find something useful in RFC 2396 (URIs) or the TAG docs, but the key bits clarify without helping much in the scenario you describe: ...
... I think I missed the first part of this discussion but from the looks of it you are designing an API to access XFML based/related services. Yes? This...
An XFML API is definitely something important. I know the lack of an API been a problem with certain companies who were trying to implement topicmap services. ...
What should be the guidelines for developing an API? The guidelines for XFML Core were: - as simple as possible but not simpler (I removed a lot of elements...
... My thoughts... * working code first, followed by standardisation lets get some ad-hoc functionality rolling as proofs of concepts, and then work on...
... Yes. At the moment the only way we have of sharing the XFML data is by passing around huge XFML files and implementing backend databases for any site that...
