Enhancements and new features in 4Suite since 1.0a4
Note: This is a posting on the 4Suite IRC opt-in log.
We're closing in on a 1.0b1 release for 4Suite (honest!). Top link above is a list of updates in this release, mostly compiled by Mike Brown. If you use 4Suite, you might want to try CVS (a snapshot would do fine) to help ensure 1.0b1 doesn't break anything unexpectedly for you.
Thanks to Micah Dubinko for the link. I also found hCalendar via Danny Ayers.
Interesting, but unless I'm missing something, this looks to be the sort of thing for which I'll look to FOAF. I do like any effort that posts semantic design principles so early in its lifetime. These semantic principles should make it a cinch to come up with an hCard -> FOAF transform.
Thinking XML: Schema standardization for top-down semantic transparency
Subtitle: The state of the art in XML modeling includes reusing models designed by others
Synopsis: This installment continues the review of the many different approaches to semantic transparency, discussing what they mean to the developer using XML. One way to save resources on a long journey is to hitchhike. In XML, you can take advantage of countless open schema initiatives that, in effect, use schema standardization for top-down semantic transparency. But it's not all a free ride. In this article, Uche Ogbuji looks at the advantages and disadvantages of third-party schema reuse. He also takes a moment to discuss The Semantic Technology Conference 2005, and respond to some recent discussion on the difficulty of modeling people's names.
This is a continuation of Thinking XML: State of the art in XML modeling ("What do developers need to know about the various approaches to semantic transparency?"). One more to go in this sub-series, though I'm a bit worried I may not be able to squeeze all my ranged thoughts on semanitc anchors into one coherent article. We'll see. After that, back to the fun hacking, on Python + WordNet.
Funny as hell, and I'm not even much of a Monty Python fan.
Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That specification is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged review.
