I've posted an RDF version of the IETF's listing of RFCs and associated metadata ( <http://www.ietf.org/iesg/1rfc_index.txt> http://www.ietf.org/iesg/1rfc_index.txt) at <http://www.snee.com/rdf/1rfc_index.rdf> http://www.snee.com/rdf/1rfc_index.rdf. I think it makes great semantic web metadata for several reasons, among them being the typed relationships between RFCs (e.g. dcterms:isReplacedBy, pr:hasCorrection) and the nice connections to the existing semantic web: the existence of several RFC authors who have FOAF files. Which brings me to my question for the list: what's the best way to model the latter? For example, what's the best RDF/XML way to indicate that "N. Walsh" in the following entry for an RFC has a FOAF file at <http://norman.walsh.name/foaf> http://norman.walsh.name/foaf? I don't want to say "the creator of <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3120.txt> http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3120.txt has a FOAF file at <http://norman.walsh.name/foaf> http://norman.walsh.name/foaf"; the resource has more than one creator, and I want to make it clear which one has which FOAF file. (I think Karl may have one himself somewhere.) The solution needs to incorporate the string "N. Walsh" as a representation of Norm, because that's how the IETF chooses to do it at <http://www.ietf.org/iesg/1rfc_index.txt> http://www.ietf.org/iesg/1rfc_index.txt, and that's out of my control. I suppose I could map the creator names to something like http://foo.org/path/namel#N.%20Walsh <http://foo.org/path/namel#N.%20Walsh> so that they can be subjects of triples and have their own predicates and objects but I was hoping for something more elegant. <rdf:Description rdf:about='http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3120.txt'> <title>A URN Namespace for XML.org.</title> <creator>K. Best</creator> <creator>N. Walsh</creator> <date>2001-06</date> <format>TXT</format> <pr:byteCount>8068</pr:byteCount> <rfc2026:status>INFORMATIONAL</rfc2026:status> </rdf:Description> thanks, BobReceived on Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:01:26 GMT
