Hi Paola, Thanks for doing that section on interop gaps. I noticed the following definitions: ------------------------------ The syntactic gap in communication is caused by different language schema notation, where the schemas are not compatible. This gap is generally bridged by 'mapping' elements of a schema to another syntactic representation. The semantic gap characterizes the difference between two descriptions of an object by different linguistic representations, for instance languages or symbols. In computer science, the concept is relevant whenever ordinary human activities, observations, and tasks are transferred into a computational representation. The pragmatic gap results from the difference in organisational and social context of the communication layer, which contributes to different operational and information models, and therefore can be viewed as the result of the combinatorial explosion of the 'context' to knowledge on the web. Pragmatically challenges to knowledge reuse, and relevant contextual dependencies, are considered not merely technical, but belong to the realm of social and organisational systems design and management, and extend well into the boundaries of what is designated as 'policy' management. ----------------------------- Do these definitions cover the gap between in systems and interop standards to match a needed use-case? I think that need to be clarified a bit more if possible in this model. chamindra de silva http://chamindra.googlepages.com On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 8:35 AM, Renato Iannella <renato@nicta.com.au> wrote: > The HTML version is now up: > > <http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/eiif/XGR-Framework-20090428/> > > or > > <http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/eiif/XGR-framework/> > > > Cheers...
