Re: Best Practices - Semantic Tagging

Dear Tim,
Apologize, I sent the email by mistake and I was still in the process of
editing.

I just wanted to add that I don't recall any discussion close to what you
are asking.
So what I expressed was purely my personal first reaction to your problem.

Also the use of oa:SemanticTag to fit into XMLSchema has to be thought
through as I think that is far from what the term has been conceived for.
<xs:appinfo> is very permissive but we are still in the XML realm.

Best,
Paolo
