I'll just add that when you make the statement above it's important to emphasize the following: 1. RDF is an entity relationship oriented data model 2. RDF adds explicit relationships semantics to this model in a manner that's machine and human discernible . With the above in place, using CSV, ASN.1, JSON, OData etc.. as RDF model serialization formats becomes easier to comprehend. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
