Subject: Re: [emergency] GJXDM vs EDXL Distribution isses
Just to add my $.02 a bit further, I don't think there is much chance
of us adopting a "not-invented-here" parochialism. Since a few of us
are trudging through the entire GJXDM to discover what and where the
differences are with the work we've done so far, I suspect that we
will most likely recommend best practices for implementors to use the
appropriate namespaced term. To do that we must first do the
diligence of comprehensive comparison so we can then look at
similarities, duplications and differences and make our
recommendations.
And just to add a bit more, while I am keeping my mind open to
alternatives, I suspect we will end up settling on the use of an
ontological approach to making our recommendations: for uses in
inontology/taxonomy x, use schema a, for uses in ontology/taxonomy y,
use b, etc. I am personally in favor of using existing work whereever
it doesn't require too many extensions to cover the requirements we
have scoped for the particular piece of work.
Ciao,
Rex..
