The Q model

I have just presented a paper at Extreme Markup 2005 on the Q model,
which is a formal model which can represent both Topic Maps and RDF,
and moreover create structurally near-identical representations for
both.

This is quite relevant to the work of the RDFTM task force. The task
force is currently debating with itself whether to use the Q model in
its guidelines, or whether to take an informal approach.

Feedback on this (and of course on the paper/model itself) would be
very much welcome from any interested parties.
