Hello All,
I just want to start a new thread/discussion item about CTM but now with =
a
more gentle introduction. I think we now had for the moment enough
discussion about a need for CTM . I will use several points made to =
prepare
work (discussion items, requirements, issues, evaluations) for the ISO
meeting in Montreal so that you can make decisions. Hopefully others in
Montreal will see/understand and some others will underline the need so =
that
we will agree upon the need for CTM.
=20
First of all CTM is not going be a syntax for the 'general end-users'. =
And
then I define the general end-users as persons without technical skills =
or
Topic Maps experience etc.. just a general user. CTM is mainly intended =
to
be used by 'technies' to make their life easier. (and thus agreeing what =
Jim
Mason wrote earlier and inline with the thread discussion that Lars =
Marius
started yesterday with the subject CTM: the arguments for =
standardisation).
As last point XTM stays the basis for interchange=20
=20
Now a new request:
- can you provide us with more requirements for CTM?
(BTW, thanks for those who provided input)
- please if you have experience with it give feedback on the use of LTM,
AsTMa=3D?
(This to find the strengths of the languages and get them in the new =
CTM.
And to eliminate the weaknesses.)
=20
The latest version of the requirements collected so far are available =
at:
http://www.mssm.nl/tmp/2005.07.22CTM-reqs.txt

Thanks,
