[snip] Yes, reflecting (as losslessly as possible) iCalendar datastructures into RDF does seem to me to be a useful goal. By defining an RDF view of iCalendar information, we should be able to show RDF systems usefully querying or otherwise manipulating that data intermixed with other related information described using other RDF vocabularies. For example, I might want to find details of meetings, photographs etc associated with W3C and/or ILRT folk during the WWW10 conference in Hong Kong recently. While the iCalendar vocab would be useful for this, there are other vocabularies I hop[e to use when composing RDF queries. Conversely, there are scenarios (eg. library collection descriptions) where the iCalendar work could find unexpected and very practical re-use in other RDF apps -- such as describing library opening hours.
