Methodologies and Tools for Vocabularies

• Vocabularies can be used to make XML resources fully self-describing, fully interchangeable and fully interoperable, down to the last syntactic and semantic feature.

• This can be accomplished using existing W3C and ISO recommendations and standards, all from the XML and SGML families of recommendations and standards.

  • Alternatively, the same principles could be applied using different modeling syntaxes, purpose-built for the Web.
  • ...but if it can be done without reinventing everything, why bother?
