Re: Schema & BP Spec: Items for today's BP/CC meeting

[Jim Clark <jdc-icot@lcc.net>]

Neal,

Referencing back to my previous email, there is currently a W3C standard that
facilitates our goal. This standard is RDF. There are also production rules
(style sheets) available to translate RDF to  DTD's and XML Docs and XMLSchema
when it is ready.

Your thoughts?
