Dear GRDDLer! The Primer is a good starting point to become familiar with GRDDL. As I'm interested in utilising GRDDL (my background is that of media semantics, cf. [MMSEM XG]) in the realm of multimedia (semantics), the following might rather be understood as questions than change requests: 1) Source: Textual/non-XML vs. XML vs. Other To me it reads that GRDDL focuses on XML-sources which is fair, but how about to also take other sources into account. You mentioned Wikis in the UC-document (but still in the XHTML-format, right?). I could even imagine a broader application, using GRDDL style to e.g. extract EXIF [EXIF-RDF] from images ... 2) Exploiting existing Web Sources When playing around with GRDDL I often ask myself why not using existing sources/formats (Google, eBay, etc.) as a starting point. IMHO this might help in enabling GRDDL to take off faster; this is also related with (Web 2.0 stuff) as Tagging - we have a UC in our MMSEM XG group as well that tackles this issue. 3) Reasoning Looking at the example in the Primer where SPARQL is used to demonstrate the usage of the extracted RDF there should also be some statement about reasoning (w.r.t. a schema/an ontology) in it. Or put in other words, playing the advocatus diaboli: What is RDF worth without it? :) Cheers, Michael [MMSEM XG] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/ [EXIF-RDF] http://www.w3.org/2003/12/exif/ ---------------------------------------------------------- Michael Hausenblas, MSc.
