Re: Feedback on "Publishing Open Government Data" WD

I guess RDF/XML would be suitable for bridging XML and RDF.
There is one ways to have consistent RDF/XML rendering

 <rdf:Description rdf:about="#entry00002">
  <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/2009/data-gov-twc.rdf#DataEntry"/>
  <src>ci</src>
  <eqid>10485677</eqid>
  <version>1</version>
  <datetime>Monday, October 26, 2009 04:33:08 UTC</datetime>

  <lat>34.2358</lat>
  <lon>-117.5915</lon>
  <magnitude>1.4</magnitude>
  <depth>10.60</depth>
  <nst>27</nst>
  <region>Southern California</region>

 </rdf:Description>
 <rdf:Description rdf:about="#entry00003">
  <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/2009/data-gov-twc.rdf#DataEntry"/>
  <src>nc</src>
  <eqid>71299825</eqid>

  <lon>-122.8283</lon>
  <magnitude>1.4</magnitude>
  <depth>2.40</depth>

 </rdf:Description>
