Hi Folks,
These two markup languages have a consistent definition of what parent elements and child elements mean:
1. RDF
2. GML
Both languages specify that parent elements represent a resource or object and child elements represent properties or attributes.
Are those the only markup languages that have a consistent definition of what parent elements and child elements mean?
If one is creating a markup language and wants to adopt a consistent definition for parent elements and child elements, is resource/object and property/attribute the only way to accomplish it?
Is an Object-Oriented approach to markup the only viable approach when one wants to have a consistent definition for parent elements and child elements? That would be quite astonishing, given that people such as Tim Bray argue that "XML is 180 degrees apart from OO".
