   RE: [xml-dev] Top 10 commercial XML vocabularies?

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

I have to agree with Keith. This is the wrong crowd to ask about industry specific XML-based vocabularies. 
 
Based on conversations I had with a lawyer I met a recent gathering it seems LegalXML is big in the legal world.

	Because you are talking to the wrong people, probably.  Most folks on this
	list are IMHO more likely generally interested in XML and supporting
	technologies, rather than working with specific XML dialects.  Folks who
	work with the more specific dialects are not likely to be on this list
	unless they are truly XML geeks.
	
	Check out http://www.xml.org/xml/registry.jsp for an a listing [incomplete]
	of a variety XML dialects [190 listed here].
	
	With so many dialects to choose from, it's hard to pick those linked to any
	one business and say it has has major impact, because most business sectors
	just are not that pervasive.  Not counting the computer software industry
	[where XML is huge], the next most likely candidates are dialects used in
	the financial services or news media sectors, and I'm just not that in touch
	with those sectors to offer any opinions.

	You know, this matches what I am hearing and experiencing - but only one of
	these is a business vocabulary! For instance, in my parochial world, I'm
	not running into ebXML much, which surprises me.
	
	Why is this?
