I have written a rough document considering several aspects of the
SDD-schema - largely interpreted with reference to our Prometheus Database
model for descriptive data. It seems easier to keep this all together,
rather than post it to various sections on twiki, so i am attaching it here
My main problems in interpreting the schema were the lack of documentation (
as always...) especially for the conceptually complex parts like concept
trees. I think clear, visual summary models for description, characters,
concept trees etc would help a novice to get to grips with the concepts, and
might make some of the complexities more tractable. I do worry that the
overall schema is over complex and 'trying to do too much in one go' - eg
considering multiple language and expertise representations, although I am
sure that there are good political reasons for everything.....
yours
