Conclusions
The Web Site Mapping workshop agreed:
- Split protocol into three:
1 Metadata Model 2 File Format Syntax
3 Metadata Manipulation Language
- Further discussions needed on:
- Is a new query language is needed (e.g. SQL, HyTime Query Language)
- Do we need a metadata query language or a general document query language
- A list of common site mapping operations
- XML is likely to be the preferred syntax
- Web Collections spec to be updated - http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/ NOTE-XMLsubmit.html
