CAML is already a (excellent) programming language, see http://caml.inria.fr/index-eng.html And annotation or abstraction isn't specific to systematics moreover. -- The more work you have to get done, the more likely it is to rain. -- Precipitation Precepts n°1

I'm curious whether any consideration was given to using RDF, which provides a good framework for collating data about resources from multiple sources and using multiple vocabularies. Cheers, L.

> This one could be xDELTA (!). I do like the fact that it would honor one of the pioneers in this field. Don't Dalwitz's papers go back to 1980? In chip-years that's a long time! < Similarly, we could honour Richard Pankhurst with PanXML, which should cover most things we might use it for. Nicholas Lander Western Australian Herbarium (PERTH)
