Attachment:
Japan's Comments on ISO/IEC CD 13250-3 (SC34 N495): Topic Maps - XML Syntax

1. General comment

The relationship between ISO/IEC 13250-4 and 13250-3 is NOT clear. The two standards give data models based on the syntax with XML, and the data model in 13250-4 is expected to be a canonical version of that in 13250-3. The clear description on such a relationship should be given in 13250-3.

2. Technical comments

(1) Clause 2

ISO/IEC 19757-2/Amd.1 (RELAX-NG Compact Syntax) should be added as a Normative reference.

(2) Clause 3, Para. 3

"XTM topic maps" should be replaced with "XTM", avoiding a repetition; TM topic maps.

(3) Annex E

The Annex E should includes the reason why XTM 1.0 is changed into XTM 1.1.

3. Editorial comment

(1) Clause 5.16, Para.5

"If the member element no roleSpec child element ..." should be
"If the member element has no roleSpec child element ...".
