Currently there is a draft spec that started life as Lexus and was donated to XML:DB by SMB GmbH. Beyond that there are no requirements though you're right that it needs to be done. Since all of this is so new we first need to define exactly what an XML database is. That discussion just started on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. > > My second question is about Quilt.

I don't know the official answer to this but I believe the stance being taken with Quilt is to define the language in its original form and then map it to XML. > > Thank you already in advance, > Eugen K. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Kimbro Staken Chief Technology Officer dbXML Group L.L.C http://www.dbxmlgroup.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------
