I continue (somewhat sporadically, I admit) to try to get a finding about the TAG issue “namespaceDocument-8” published. Last time the TAG visited this issue, I thought we devised a relatively straightfoward model of the information that is represented by a RDDL document. There were some t's to be crossed and some i's to be dotted, but it looked like we were approaching closure. The danger with leaving something untouched for months is that when you come back to it, you basically have to start from scratch. When we did, at the TAG face-to-face meeting last week, I was startled to find adamant objection to the simple model we'd earlier discussed. Exploration revealed something much more complex. I think I can see how that's a better model in some academic sense, but I'm not sure it represents a practical way forward for the finding. The finding just needs to ground a couple of alternate syntaxes in some unifying model that's simple enough, and straightforward enough, to be seen as obviously a way of modeling the information in the document. Not sure what else to do, I took an action to see what's actually out there in the wild as far as RDDL use. In particular, I'm curious about what syntaxes are actually used and what natures and purposes people really employ. Pointers, please.
