Re: [legalruleml] Groups - Event "LegalRuleML - TC meeting Sept. 23th" added

[Tara Athan <taraathan@gmail.com>]

Dear All - I have pushed some draft examples and a new Relax NG schema 
that validates these examples to the repository. The syntax in these 
examples follows the spirit of the small example we developed in the 
telecon, but I made some small modifications so that it fits in better 
to the existing syntax. Here is a snippet of the compact version

  <!-- IRIs for legal sources may be defined in a references block -->
