Processing Models and serialisation syntaxes

Hi Team

In the post where I discussed processing models, I proposed a term called
"manifest" to describe how to associate a variety of resources with a
namespace that is a valid URL. In fact it turns out there is already a
proposal for a mechanism that works in this way from Johnathan Borden and
Tim Bray called "Resource Directory Description Language". See

At the PI telecon we discussed serialisation syntaxes for RDF. Dave Beckett
has a preprint of a paper that provides an overview of this very subject -
