Re: scientific publishing process (was Re: Cost and access)

Hi Peter

Yes, these tags are semantic, in the context of a document. One could
declare a document section instead of saying that there's a container. This
way one can easily make a table of contents of several documents.

Not semantic in the sense they describe the knowledge in that document -
that's what RDF, OWL are for.

cheers
