hReview, tags, Atom & GRDDL

Hi Harry,

Just read the minutes of the SWEO telecon - sorry I missed you.  

Tom Heath's Revyu.com uses an RDF vocab I allegedly maintain - had
pretty well forgotten about it until Tom dug up & revitalised it
(historically notable in that the last joint update was done on the bus
from the Jena conf. to the restaurant :-)

The vocab was cited in the background to hReview:
http://microformats.org/wiki/review-formats#RDF_Review_Vocabulary

It was with that in mind I'd suggested:
http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl-scenarios/#guitar_use_case

the XSLT I mentioned here:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2006Aug/0026.html
is now at:
http://dannyayers.com/code/hreview2rdf
but is no doubt in need of revision.

Likewise the rough spec is long overdue an update:
http://www.purl.org/stuff/rev#

I've also got a few terms to add that another implementer is already
using in that namespace which didn't seem unreasonable (details in my
inbox somewhere...).

Revyu.com also uses the Tag Ontology from:
http://www.holygoat.co.uk/projects/tags/

(I've used this vocab in a few playthings myself, it seems to work quite
nicely)

There's a list of microformat/GRDDL-related vocabs & XSLT at:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/CustomRdfDialects

I don't know of any GRDDL XSLT for the rel-tag microformat, though Brian
Suda may well have covered this.

Re. Atom/RDF XSLT - when I looked into this, there were various
candidates but none which jumped out as *the* solution.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jul/0034.html

It was far from obvious what would be the next step forward - towards
the ultimate aim of asking the Atom folks to associate the XSLT with
their namespace document.

My personal take on what would have been optimal was with Henry Story's
maximally-Atom-spec-friendly vocab as the target, done to RDF/XML using
XSLT 1.0 (Henry has corresponding XQuery and XSLT 2.0), so I made a
start on putting that together:

http://n2.talis.com/svn/playground/danja/misc/atom/atom2rdf_xslt-1.0.xsl

I'll do my best to devote some time soon to the bits and pieces here
that are on my plate. This stuff is generally in scope for my dayjob
hours at Talis, I've just got to wheedle them into my schedule. (Hmm,
it's familiar enough having a trail of unfinished projects, untypical
that these might actually be useful were they finished...)

If anyone can point me to the start of the art in vocab doc tools, I'll
be very grateful :-)

Cheers,
Danny.
