There's push vs. pull parsers (SiRPAC vs. RDF.NET's > RDFReader) and statement-centric vs. resource-centric frameworks (Sergey's > RDF API vs. Jena). > [...] Push vs pull is tricky to do both but have been done on systems that are widely installed (on Linux-en) - see libpng for handling the PNG image format and Daniel Veillard's libxml that does both for XML. The statement vs resource centric are just two ways of looking at the same thing and can be resolved with a bit of glue. It depends on whether you take resources as 'attached' to a statement (and hence model) or on their own. Asking this another way - which of these interfaces are needed? I can imagine people could want them all. Dave
