-----Original Message----- From: owner-daml-pi@mail.daml.org [mailto:owner-daml-pi@mail.daml.org]On Behalf Of John Flynn Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2001 11:16 AM To: daml-pi@daml.org Subject: Word Plug-in for DAML editing One of the candidates discussed during the Killer Applications breakout sessions was a plug-in to support creating/editing ontologies/instances directly in Word. This email is in the spirit of continuing that general discussion. There are several Word plug-in approaches for direct XML editing. I’m not suggesting the one below is any better than others; however, the article does an excellent job in describing why this approach is important. If XML is to have the same transforming effect on document-oriented applications that it has had on transactional, business-to-business applications, it will have to be easily applied by authors who are experts in the subject matter, but have little knowledge of markup and less desire to learn it. This article describes an XML editor that does exactly that: it allows the rest of us to create valid XML in a familiar context without extensive knowledge of the rules of XML or the DTD behind the document. Full article: http://www.sys-con.com/xml/article.cfm?id=219 We will set up an email list ( daml-apps@daml.com <mailto:daml-apps@daml.com> ) on Monday to facilitate continued discussion leading to a consensus on a DAML Killer Application.
