First replied, last replied to :) Thanks for the pointers. I don't have much to say that I've not already said. The issues you discuss vis-a-vis XMP seem more political than technical. Clearly, there is a requirement for extensibility. Beyond that, it's a bit hard to determine what the actual technical requirements are (no surprise, really). I wonder if aligning XMP with some RDFa profile would make sense. Actually, I think there's a lot of milage to be gotten out of being less free and easy. One problem we faced at UMD with some of our tools is that they were *too* open and flexible. Photostuff, for example, would build forms for "person" from all the ontologies you loaded. So you got these HUGE forms with dozens of fields. And all you wanted to do was mark up the photo with the fact that it was a photo of your niece. Anyhoo. Cheers, Bijan.
