    Hi Everyone,
    
    I have another sample, from the HumanMarkup TC, labelled (1) below, 
    and I would like to remind you all that it is in unformatted 
    text-only. That means you need to save it locally, and open it in the 
    word-processing program of your choice. We perceived this need for a 
    glossary also, and I would like to add that there are a wealth of 
    non-congruous terms between XML, RDF and UML which I formalized in 
    the column headers of a strawman table of classes, (2) below,  and 
    properties derived from our ontological taxonomical frameworks, (3) 
    below (also a text-only file).
    
    Clarifying how we mean to use these terms is another idea you might 
    want to consider for the operational terms in this glossary for TSIA, 
    as long a we are collecting the base or foundational materials for 
    the building of our lexical vocabularies. Notions of  Element, Class, 
    Attributes, and Type (which, as the definition of Class) in RDF I did 
    not specify in the headers), Methods vs. Operations, etc need such 
    clarification for us in a more formal manner than a strawman  OO 
    Class Hierarchy such as I constructed as the basis for an 
    out-of-scope exercise for HumanML (more for my own later purposes in 
    application-building).

    Last note, I am not submitting the HumanML glossary as a basis for 
    TSIA, let alone the practices I adopted, but rather as another 
    example of expanding upon terms when appropriate in a monograph that 
    adds further explication of TSIA use of a term.
    
    Ciao,
    Rex
