The standard currently contains no explicit expression of an XML interchange syntax for Topic Maps. There is a need for a normative syntax to be used in application contexts that are limited to Web-based addressing and XML parsing.
We propose that the following text be included in ISO/IEC 13250:2000 as a new Annex, Annex C.
The following DTD must be used for the interchange of topic map information in environments that are limited to the processing of XML syntax (i.e., that cannot process SGML) and that can only support addressing expressions that are Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
