[Scrollkeeper-devel] DocBook and OMF

[Dan M. <da...@ea...>]

I am forwarding Norman's email to the OMF list (ldp-meta), as I think this
pertains specifically to the OMF specification and OMF DTD, more than to
ScrollKeeper directly.  Let's try to have this discussion on that list.

BTW: Anybody who is actively involved in ScrollKeeper should probably join
the OMF mailing list.  You can do so here:

Subject: [Scrollkeeper-devel] DocBook and OMF

[I'm not sure what list this best belongs on. Forward at will.]

In looking at OMF and the existing DocBook metadata, I observe that
there are some conflicts (title in OMF doesn't have the same content
model as the DocBook title element, person uses "firstName/lastName"
where DocBook would use "firstname/surname", etc.).

So the first question I have is, which is more appealing to the
community developing OFM tools: getting OMF support into DocBook by
way of elements in a separate namespace or by getting a joint
OMF/DocBook TC task force to harmonize things so that the OMF elements
would go directly into DocBook?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
