Dear Claudio, I agree with you that a compound term that has an empty extension does not necesarilly describes something invalid or impossible. So if one...

Dear Aida, Thanks a lot for explaining the terminology used in your area by giving specific examples. This allows me to answer your questions. Of ... 1/ Facet...
Yannis ... this is correct... and all the examples were the cases where the basic classification vocabulary is used to build a 'statements on content' of a...
... It's not. Instead, you could try expressing your data in RDF or XTM (XTM should work). XFML was designed to be a very basic format, that's why it's called...
... Which makes me think, maybe I should put your XFML+ on the xfml.org site, as an additional version of XFML (http://xfml.org/spec/ has versions). Would that...
Dear Peter, According to my opinion, XFML+ is not the next version of XFML but it can be a specialized "clone" of every XFML version. XFML implements the...

Dear all, The extension of XFML with expressions of the Compound Term Composition algebra is now called XFML+CAMEL. CAMEL is an acronym of [C]ompound term...
I have discussed this with Yannis. The idea is that CAMEL builds on basic XFML, so we decided to make it an extension (instead of XFML2.0 or something). When...

I agree with both Travis and Peter. According to my opinion, for now it is better to keep the core XFML as it is. I agree that at some point we could define a...
