If DocScope is to use XML, it will be hard to ignore 13606.
The *classical* approach based on data management only leads to
over-weighted office management softwares.
The new paradigm of knowledge management is a genuine challenge, because
*man* is the more complex system ever created (I must confess - and Karsten
will agree - that *woman* is probably more complex, but I shall never think
of her as a system :-) ), and people that must service it (doctors) belong
to a rather disseminated team.
Now XML can be a modern way to transport highly structured datas (not easy,
but usefull for knowledge management systems) or fresh painting to have
horse carts look like automobiles.
I am afraid DocScope, as expressed in the presentation, is based on that old
mechanical approach.
Lets meet in my office, I will show you the gap between standard DTDs and a
system based on ontologies.
