I have difficulty distinguishing between Classes and properties, and there is no good reason for keeping them in ALLCAPS. Why the funky dates? Can't we just use W3CDTF like everyone else? Why duplicate ical:DESCRIPTION and dc:description ? As a test, I tried transcribing http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/06/content/track2.rdf into N3 with the simplifications I propose above. Look at how much simpler it is: @prefix util: <http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/06/schemas/ical-util#> . @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . @prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> . @prefix event: <http://test.example.com/events/> . @prefix speaker: <http://test.example.com/speakers/> . @prefix : <http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/06/schemas/ical- full/hybrid.rdf#> .

Aided by an energetic, creative and sometimes controversial community, the state of XML is looking better than ever." ] . speaker:40 a foaf:Person, :CalAddress . -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
