Know the complexity introduced by DP is that they believe that it easier to digitalize books by the syntactic mark up of the semantics of a book and texts. This assumption is false, because there is no semantic information in a book. the extraction of such information is a function of the human brain.
All that is needed is to identify the syntactic structures of the layout of the book inorder to digitalize it into an ebook.
First, there's no syntactic structure in a book. There's only ink. Anything above that level is purely an artifact of the human mind. Secondly, I have no idea what you're talking about. What markup do you not think DP should be doing?
Another problem is that classical book and text semantics do not mix well, and I assume that they have improperly mixed them.
Of course. When having a discussion with someone else, point out that something is hard, and therefore you can assume they must have screwed it up. That's exactly what makes for a working discussion. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
