Hi thanks for feedback :) I cant really be more specific since I'm not yet sure of the way things are moving here (eg. precise spec for labels) or what works and what doesn't (eg. Taxonomylabel function or it's interface - is it implemented? where is the spec? Is it really just the snippets - subsnippet - subsubsnippet path? than that would be total misuse of the term) More info on those topics and the roadmap for taxonomy interchange / interchange formats in general is a prerequisite for further discussion. OK I'll try and locate Java APIs for accessing label data. I'll also look into possibilities of custom implementation of Label class with getInputProxy. However what I'm after will require interchange specs. I put up a vague discussion draft here: [joelemaltais/interoparable taxonomies]. feel free to modify. cheers jlm :) 2005-03-16 01:43:53.668 2005-03-16 00:47:23.983
