Joe, my view is that XML is far too large a term to apply here. For the DKR
to work at all, specific XML namespaces must be used. Thus, translation is
necessary only if the original format is not one of the specified
namespaces.
Glossary:
NAMESPACE
A name given to a specific DTD or Schema. This name then defines the format
and DOM of any document that can be validated against it. Document designers
construct namespaces in order to provide uniformity in content such that
computer programs (e.g. agents) can process the contained information.
DTD
Document Type Definition. A particular kind of definition of a document, in
which tag names are given names, for example:
<!ELEMENT foo > results in the XML tag <foo> being legal with respect to
the DTD that defines it.
SCHEMA
A document definition that is more complex than a DTD. <add more here>
DOM
Document Object Model. A model to which an XML document conforms. By
selecting a particular DOM for any given document, that document is made
parsable by a computer program.
