Hi all, Comments against: <http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/sc34/open/1586.pdf> While the usage of plurals may match the TMDM properties, TMQL is the only path language which uses plural terms and not singular terms for paths/axes. Further, it breaks to some extent my way of thinking. I'd translate the path expression t/occurrence into t/*[. isa occurrence] So "t/occurrences" does not match well with the mental model. Further, the path names can be reduced a bit. NB: XPath, XQuery and Versa (RDF) use singular terms.
