The following may be useful: Make Your XML RDF-Friendly http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/10/30/rdf-friendly.html RDF can be useful in the creation of a (non-RDF) XML format, for example by mapping the domain model to the RDF model, then simplifying the (striped) RDF/XML serialisation. I believe exploration of a potential RDF mapping highlighted several potential issues in the design of the Atom (XML) syndication format. Additionally, where a mapping exists between an XML format and an RDF (e.g. SKOS) version of the same information, an XSLT transformation can be constructed and GRDDL can provide automatic, on-the-fly translation. This can be enabled for *all* documents using the format by means of a small addition just to the XML format's namespace document. See: http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec#ns-bind (That's the editor's draft of GRDDL, the final version will appear at: http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/ and associated documents, such as the Primer can be found through: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/ ) Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
