Talk:Data element

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the Data element article is very short, I propose that we merge the separate articles on Data element name and Data element definition as sections in this one article. Separately, I propose that some of the examples of naming in ISO/IEC 11179 be merged into Data element name, and ultimately into here. RayGates 22:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to keep the Data element definition page separate. I would like to be able to link to it seperately and add use cases to extend the article. I agree that Data element is short but I propose we can extend it. - Dan Feb. 1st
O.K., Dan. I have removed the merge templates. RayGates 01:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Overly idealistic?

[edit]

Isn't the definition of "precise definition & precise semantics" way too optimistic? In an ideal world I'd agree, but in the real world things often tend to be highly imprecise & ambiguous semantics. Just my experience. DEddy (talk) 14:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
