Hi Garold,
Nice work on this description, it caprtures a lot and will reply in
detal to some parts of it. However, in overview, please consider that an
information item or object is described by more than just its
attributes. Please observe that any info item/object is described by (1)
a name which may imply a topic or category, (2) possibly a unique
identification for the system, (3) a potentially unlimted number of
attributes which can help define and interpret the item, and (4) its
content, which may contain additional description/definion of the
object.
[Garold L. Johnson] From the perspective that I was using the term, all of
these are also attributes. The name is an attribute, content is an
attribute it is really what we mean by it. These are not separate from
the thing itself. They would be included in any framer representation
system.
Thanks,
Garold (Gary) L. Johnson
