Syntax Proposal: It has been moved that we adopt the following conventions for SWBPD syntax usage. 1. In the main content sections of all formal published notes, Turtle/N3 will be used. This meets the requirements that the syntax be both human- and machine-readable. Exception: In some cases, the subject matter is best communicated using a different syntax (e.g. the RDF/XML Task Force). This is deemed acceptable on a case-by-case basis for the main content sections of formal published notes. As appropriate, additional syntaxes may be presented in appendices to the notes. OPEN QUESTION: · should we make it a requirement that, say all notes at least have RDF/XML in an appendix? -or- · should this be entirely up to the author's discression? 2. For regular email exchanges, use of Turtle/N3 syntax remains the recommended convention, but is not required to the extent that it causes undue inconvenience. For example: · one's favorite tool may not export Turtle/N3. · there are times when one may wish to dash off a quick example and just type it in some ad hoc informal notation. · the subject matter may be best explained using alternative syntaxes (as above).Received on Thursday, 29 April 2004 15:57:46 GMT
