Re: Object Memory Modeling XG and RDFa

Hello,

thank you very much for your feedback. I added some comments.

At the moment, we do not have a simple human readable vocabulary 
document, that can be reached with this url. You can find further 
information at the XG report 
(http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/omm/XGR-omm-20111026/XGR-omm.html#n3). 
What does "machine readable" mean?

fixed. (1 instead of 1.0)

This link may be an URL but this is not mandatory, it can be any string.

Our approach is "how to express the fixed, block-based OM-model with 
RDFa-strucutures", not "how to encode some data in RDFa the best 
possible way" (please take a look to our report at 
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/omm/XGR-omm-20111026/XGR-omm.html#n3). 
So an RDFa enriched HTML5 document should lead to the same model as our 
sample XML files and other/binary encodings.

see (6.)

fixed.

fixed.

we simplyfied this area as much as possible.

we keep this in mind and try to ease our approach.

see (7.).


We would be pleased to receive your feedback again. Thank you in advance 
for your help.
