070901 - Follow up ref SDS 27 0000, ref SDS 25 0000.
070902 -
070903 - Sources for standards for data exchange, also called mapping and
070904 - modelling, are provided.  Eric requests that someone review the
070905 - material and make a submission.  Eric provides a listing of sources
070906 - provided so far by Coloquium contributors.  He associates the sources
070907 - under major headings.  There are no links from the sources to project
070908 - record showing the context of the sources, pending action items, etc.

071306 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Eric Armstrong asking for assistance in
071307 - reviewing proposed standards for data exchange requirements, based on
071308 - information from referenced sources, evidently provided by someone,
071309 - possibly outside the Colloquium.
071310 -
071311 - The main source says...
071312 -
071313 -      For avanced mapings you may consider the ISO 10303 standards.
071314 -      There you will find both a formal data modelling langauge EXPRESS
071315 -      and a declarative mapping langauge EXPRESS-X. As for
071316 -      implementations you can access both models (schemas) and data
071317 -      sets by Java (part 27) and XML (part 28). ref DRT 1 5049
071318 -      ..
071319 -      I am convinced that ISO 10303 and Express-X will solve your
071320 -      mapping concerns. Then you can link in these pieces of software
071321 -      into your applications. ref DRT 1 2600

071328 - Seems to be responding to an inquiry...
071329 -
071330 -      I'm trying to design DTD for data exchange between several
071331 -      applications. These applications look at these data with
071332 -      different perspectives. For example, one might be interested in
071333 -      knowing students in a class:, ref DRT 1 8742

071341 -      ..
071342 -      Another might be interested in knowing students in
071343 -      extra-curricular organizations:

071350 -           name  CDATA #REQUIRED>
071351 -
071352 -      The data content is the same, but with different groupings. Is it
071353 -      possible to design a flexible DTD such that each application
071354 -      doesn't have to traverse and re-structure the tree? ref DRT 1
