> -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Borden [mailto:jborden@mediaone.net] > Dealing with XML complex types is rather more interesting. I think complex types are the real subject. Primitives, IMHO, are only useful to provide some convenience when you are dealing with systems like databases (for example). I believe the real need is the ability for a developer to associate a certain resource with any type inside a schema (whatever the language used). This will enable higher level descriptions and will ease automated processing of ontologies, when these are represented by XML fragments. I would very much like to see Xpointers used, for example the URI to the bongo type from [1] is something like (in XML escaping): http://example.com/XSD.xsd#Xpointer(id('foo')]) or http://example.com/XSD.xsd#Xpointer(//*[@name('bongo')]) What I'm trying to figure out is how to error proof this Xpointer values since a non Xpointer conformant application will not locate the resource and will report a rather 404 like error. Maybe Xlink can errorproof this but I cannot come up with if/how Xlinks can be attached to the RDF model right now.
