It is a formal specification that specifies how to describe in RDF format semantics of XML namespaces, for automated processing of mixed namespace documents. It specifies relations between different namespaces. See here.
The project aims to create a new XML-based file format that can replace both HTML and LaTeX for publishing, supporting document-level scripting and interoperable namespaces. More details.
The team considers HTML and LaTeX to be inconsistent and fragmented, with many non-interoperable formats. The project seeks a single, cleaner XML-based alternative that supports structured semantics and scripting.
XML Boiler is an advanced XML processing toolkit intended to enable mixing multiple loosely related XML namespaces in one file and automatic transformations between namespaces. It was developed by Victor Porton, the project’s founder. Learn more.
The action plan is: (1) finish the Automatic Transformations of XML Namespaces specification, (2) complete XML Boiler software, (3) enable public creation of namespaces (formatting, semantics, scripting), and (4) select and integrate the best namespaces into a new XML-based publishing format. Full plan.
Namespaces let different concerns (layout, semantics, scripting) be developed independently. Automatic transformation tools (like XML Boiler) will convert these namespaces into existing formats where needed, enabling interoperability and incremental adoption. More.
Yes — the intended scripting is document-level (comparable to LaTeX macros), not client-side rendering JavaScript. The design emphasizes authoring-level scripting for publishing workflows. See the project description.
Yes. The project plans a public call for developers to create namespaces for formatting, semantics, and scripting. XML Boiler is designed to allow third-party namespace development and integration. Contribution info.
Yes. In the intermediary stage, new tags and namespaces can be transformed into existing formats (like HTML) using XML Boiler, so working products can exist while the new format matures. Read about the approach.
