My understanding is that an RDF/XML document is a GRDDL result of itself.
My code implements that using the following technique:
1) Get URL, and set docMimeType from the http response headers.
2) Parse content as XML (minimally first element),
set rootNameSpace as the namespace of the root element
...
Later
if docMimeType="application/rdf+xml"
or rootNameSpace = RDF.Namespace
then
read document with identity transform
end if
I am thinking of extending that to include application/rdf+n3 as well;
currently I don't cope with namespace documents written in N3, which
feels like a bug to me. (i.e. an unpleasant surprise for a user).
