17:41:59 lheuer Hi Markus! :)
17:56:22 uebera|| I love websec -- now I'll never miss a single change within the ISO/IEC 13250-n documents again :D ...
17:57:25 lheuer :)
17:57:58 lheuer BTW: There is also a RSS feed for the doc repository
17:59:00 lheuer Hmmm... but it doesn't help
17:59:02 lheuer :)
17:59:19 uebera|| I see. But there are other pages that don't have one and I prefer to have a unified solution for all of them.
17:59:50 uebera|| Aside from that, using websec, all changes are highlighted. :)
18:00:25 lheuer Just for the record: The RSS helps. I read it not carefully :)

20:10:44 Xabby77 hello
20:12:01 uebera|| Hi, Xabby77.
20:13:02 larsbot hi there
20:13:13 Xabby77 how are you?
20:13:21 uebera|| And hi, Larsbot. :)
20:14:30 uebera|| * uebera|| is working to full capacity as usual. :)
20:15:22 Xabby77 ehehe
20:15:54 Xabby77 i written down the part of my thesis about topic maps ....the powerfull and the limits of topic maps
20:16:31 Xabby77 what is the difference beetween reification and the use of tamplates?
20:17:52 uebera|| Counterquestion: how do you define "template"? :)
20:18:34 Xabby77 yes but the difference is just logical :)
20:21:17 Xabby77 by the way i looked to the schema created by the omnigator of my topic maps.....cannot modify it because i think it use all external templates..... so when i call the association 1:1 it call an external templates
20:21:20 Xabby77 am i wrong?
20:22:37 uebera|| Sorry, I still haven't had the time to look at it.
20:22:59 Xabby77 no problem :)
20:32:00 larsbot I have the same problem as uebera||: I don't know what you mean by templates
20:33:57 Xabby77 templates are topic created are recalled in a topic maps for example
20:34:27 Xabby77 a tamplate can be country ...... USA is a topic of kind country
20:38:53 larsbot country is a topic type, I'd say
20:39:15 Xabby77 ye
20:39:23 Xabby77 sec
20:42:28 Xabby77 http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/allegro.pdf
20:42:35 uebera|| Hm, do you refer to http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/allegro.pdf (--> 3.2. Topic map templates)?
20:42:40 uebera|| Yes, you do. :D
20:43:01 Xabby77 yes :)
20:43:08 Xabby77 that is why i was a bit confused :)
20:43:56 larsbot ah, I see
20:44:15 larsbot templates were being pushed in 2000-2002 as a kind of weak schema mechanism in Topic Maps
20:44:21 Xabby77 yes
20:44:33 larsbot there were some tools that used them, but they were never standardized, and nobody ever wrote up any really good explanation of how they were to be used
20:44:46 larsbot reification, however, is something completely different
20:44:47 Xabby77 OSL use them
20:44:55 larsbot OSL does not use templates; OSL is a real schema language
20:45:04 larsbot an example of a template would be if I wrote
20:45:15 Xabby77 yes lars but the free version use templates
20:45:27 larsbot no, sorry, not in the sense that the Allegro paper uses the term
20:45:28 larsbot employed-by(person : employee, organization : employer)
20:45:41 larsbot this association would be a template, but it's also just a normal, straight topic maps association
20:45:47 Xabby77 yes
20:45:58 larsbot it's the fact that it's relating two topic types that tells you that it's meant to be a template
20:46:08 larsbot however, what the template means isn't really very well defined anywhere
20:46:16 larsbot also, you can't specify cardinalities and that sort of thing
20:46:39 Xabby77 yes that is why i was a bit confused :)
20:49:05 larsbot it is a bit confusing, yes
20:49:10 Xabby77 but when i open the .osl file i was looking at the association i created.....there where also other association called for example "has strict cardinality" that where referring to an external locator that is why i thought OSL was using externtemplate for express this kind of cardinality at least on the free trial version but maybe i am wrong
20:50:29 Xabby77 this is from the .osl
20:50:53 Xabby77 maybe i spam.... is a problem?
20:52:02 uebera|| if the example is too long, you probably could upload it somewhere and just post the url in here.
20:52:26 Xabby77 ok
20:52:32 Xabby77 i will do in that way
21:00:23 larsbot Xabby77: the similarity between OSL and templates is that they are both ways to do constraints
21:00:35 larsbot and, yes, an OSL schema is a set of external constraints
21:01:07 larsbot in the sense that the constraints sit outside the topic map
21:03:14 Xabby77 thx larsbot
21:03:53 Xabby77 this clarify a bit of thing
21:05:10 Xabby77 but is hard to write down different constraint from the defaults 1 without tools to help
21:11:01 Xabby77 that is the link of the osl file. That is completly differente from the opera.osl where for example <role min=1 max=1> is explict completley diffent from the same role express in my osl where this kind of cardinality is present but not express in the same way
21:11:06 Xabby77 http://www.webalice.it/piero.crisci/asili.xtm.osl
21:11:13 Xabby77 this if you want to take a look
21:11:53 Xabby77 : afk
21:13:45 larsbot this seems to be an OSL schema for Ontopoly's meta-ontology
21:13:52 larsbot it looks like you don't have any topic types of your own in there
