This is a misrepresentation of my claim. The content that needs to be manage in
such environment is not the raw material. It is what we retain from the raw
material.
> Am I missing something?
Yes, so it seems to me. The environment for managing the content should be
informed by the content. We should not obsess with a structure which puts heavy
constraints on the way we shall be able to work with the sources and a priori
structural constraints on the kind of content we shall be able to produce.
We have to extract content (eventually from structured sources and we could use
SUMO and OpneCyc browsers if that is an environment in your sense, but this is
more or less anecdotal since proposers of canfidate standards are asked to
produce flat files which to date are hardly structured).
The content we will care for will have to be structured in an environment
eventually. Again, This environment should be designed in a way suitable to
manage the content (modular if there are genuine alternative, maybe), not the
way around.
Do you think you missed that or do you find that arguable?
