Re: Announcement of the I3C (but where are the taxonomists?)

Hi, As an outside observer it seems like there's two approaches, to either develop something as a grass-roots community effort and build running code/consensus, and then work upwards to standardisation. Or begin with a formal consortium and beginning defining standards with code to follow. The chemical community has taken the former approach, and have been quite successful. http://xmlhack.com/read.php?item=1315 Cheers, L.
