OxfordML is involved in a variety of free, open source projects intended to showcase technologies and standards.
The Text Encoding Initiative
The ⇨Text Encoding Initiative is the daddy of all publicly available text mark-up schemes. At present the TEI scheme is being developed into its fifth version (known as ‘P5’). This version is a significant redevelopment of the scheme, and the first to be developed as an XML-oriented application (the previous version was a combined SGML and XML vocabulary). As part of this it has shifted its literate programming source from DTDs to RELAX NG.
Topic maps
Topic maps is a knowledge-management paradigm, first described as an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 13250:2000) for SGML/HyTime. An independent consortium, ⇨TopicMaps.Org, developed an XML syntax for topic maps, and since then it has become a rapidly-growing technology.
Pepys-Map
The topic map specialists ⇨Techquila started in July 2004 a topic map showcase consisting of an incrementally augmented topic map of the diary of Samuel Pepys. This topic map follows the ⇨Pepys Diary blog, which releases a new day of the dairy for every day of the year (343 years later). OxfordML are a contributor to this map, and will continue to add days in conjuction with Techquila. The diaries cover ten years; so this should keep us busy for a while. The archive of the map so far can be seen ⇨here.
Topic Map functions for XSLT 2.0
OxfordML have also developed a set of functions for ⇨XSLT 2.0 which allow easy XSLT-based processing of a consistent topic map expressed in the XTM format. These functions will shortly be made available on this site.
