It is working, providing that you remove the appended punctuation
(comma) next to the URL:
> http://www.signwriting.org/forums/software/swml/swml01.html
Then there's a no longer link to the SWML specification page, but I
found a copy of a draft example there on another domain:
> http://www10.org/cdrom/posters/p1011/index.htm
Also an archived version of the same page, rendered in a PDF:
> http://www10.org/cdrom/posters/1011.pdf
The "SWML initiative" website (on the tche.br domain), containing the
draft SSS-SVG reference file that assigns an SVG symbol for each
SignWriting symbol:
> http://swml.ucpel.tche.br/sss-svg
as well as the DTD of the SWML schema itself:
> http://swml.ucpel.tche.br/swml-version1.0-draft2.htm
seems to be dead and without any known mirror or archive.
You may try to infer the schema from the given example, but I'm not
sure that it effectively transposes all the layout features needed and
stabilized now in the current SignWriting project, because this draft
document seems to be very old.
May be you'll want to contact the admins of the UCPEL university
website, but i've not been able to navigate easily everywhere I wanted
to go on their website, due to their broken Javascript-based dynamic
menus (that don't display in the correct position and don't let me
click on their options). Their "Research Projects" section anyway
seems to be completely empty now. The website is indexed by Google,
but Google gives no other pages about SWML.
The UCPEL website seems to be now almost enterily formal and
administrative, and all contents previously created by their students
or doctorants in labs for communicating directly about their projects
(and previously hosted on subdomains) are now offline and available
only from the University intranet, possibly because of security and
legal reasons (such as lack of dedicated personel or contractor for
the management and cleanup of incoming infection attacks, or risks of
illegal hosting for pirated or unlicenced copyrighted contents).
