TMQL - Some thoughts

Hi all,

Some thoughts what we can do with TMQL.

* Drop TMQL, standardize fix tolog and standardize it
* Drop TMQL from ISO, establish an independent WG which develops a
  query language and come back with that query language to ISO.
* Keep TMQL at ISO and help Rani to finish TMQL (a status quo report
  would be necessary) within the deadline (what's the deadline, btw?)

Regardless of the path we choose I think we need a small, effective
group that works on the standard (leaving all formalities like ISO/DIN
member etc. aside). Rani could keep his editor role and communicate
with ISO while he's backed by a group of Topic Maps experts who work
with him on the draft (either TMQL or tolog).

IMO we don't have any more time to loose.

Other thoughts?

I am not familiar with ISO regularities, so some points may not work
or be against the ISO regularities.

Best regards,
Lars
