Correct.
I think there *is* a need for a lingua franca for intercomputer
communication. But I support the idea that there should be alternative
syntaxes (as long as they can be clearly translated to the lingua
franca).
I assume we agree that mapping should be at the conceptual level while
interchange formats remain negotiable. In a sense, the pursuit of a
normative interchange format is inherently mercurial, but not so re.
conceptual schema :-)
Best,
Alan
