Subject: [xtm-wg] Portal Markup Language and Topic Map Template
I recently posted the following question in the topicmapmail@infoloom.com mailing list: "I am looking for comments regarding the differences between using DTD (i.e., PML) and topic map template for exchange of information maintained by a typical portal tool, e.g., metadata about information objects, users, groups, access controls, subscriptions, and notifications. It seems to me that most (if not all) of these portal related metadata can be "standardized" in terms of topic map templates that are declarative in nature and can be reused and shared by portals from different vendors. As a result, the mechanics for sharing and exchange portal information can be accomplished in the form of the standard topic map interchange format (be it ISO-based Varlink or XTM-based XLink). I wonder if the differences between these two approaches might be architecturally significant, e.g., flexibility, extensibility, portability, etc." Since I have not heard any responses yet, I thought I might post the same question in this XTM-WG forum as well. Again, anyone care to comment? (BTW: I won't be offended if you tell me that I am asking a stupid question :-) Thanks, Scott Tsao The Boeing Company ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win $1000 at eGroups!
