Dear Owen & public-xformsusers, As it was told that XForms is an XML-based programming languages I came to pages on XML: It brought me to T. Bernets-Lee collection of writings on Design Issue. Interestingly I find a page recently written by Berners-Lee in 2019 (https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Footprints.html) about technologies to help with building applications among which were languages of forms. And we are here in public-xformusers@w3.org. Together with another page opened written older than the previous one by Berners-Lee explaining about "evolvability" ( https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Evolution.html), my readings on IETF ( www.ietf.org and its collaborators such as IRTF and IAB), the website on STRATML with its slogan mentioning "Intentions", "Networks Society" (Manuel Castell*) and "Networks of Laguage" (J. Francois Lyotard, "The Postmodern Condition"), the document on technologies to help with building apps (Berners-Lee, 2019) brought me to such a draft of minds below --with an emphasis on "networks of applications supported by languages": For the Internet and the Web, thus networks of computer-based communications and informations --at least considering the Web goals of interoperbility and evolvability/evolution if they are still so while if it has not been changed evolution is a main concern of Internet engineers--, there would supposedly be networks of applications supported by languages: and there would also be those of intentions/interests of users' and architects'... Is'nt it so...? This is why the message relates with issues maintained by public-informationarchitecture@w3.org and public-appsdesignlab@w3.org beside public-xformsusers@w3.org... Note: * It is a long web address, then I separate it: Manuel Castell, "Informationalism, Technology and Network Society" https://annenberg.usc.edu/sites/default/files/2015/04/28/Informationalism%2C%20Networks%20and%20the%20Network%20Society.pdf Regard, Guntur Wiseno Putra Pada Senin, 09 Desember 2019, Owen Ambur <Owen.Ambur@verizon.net> menulis: > Guntur, I'm not sure I understand your question or whether anyone else on > the listserv is interested in seeing us continue this dialog. > > However, with regard to the KISS principle noted in one of the references > you cited <https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Principles.html>, this famous > admonition comes to mind: https://quoteinvestigator.com/ > 2011/05/13/einstein-simple/ > > For business quality records, it is the underlying requirements that > should take precedence, not the desire to make it easy for techies to > manipulate those records via software programming code.
