A couple of primer suggestions: 1. For people who merely want to use GRDDL, I think it would be helpful in the Primer introduction to summarize the available mechanisms for indicating GRDDL transformations, and indicate which primer section demonstrates that mechanism. Even better would be for this summary to also act as a complete crib sheet, showing the actual snippet of what is needed, so that users could easily refer back to it as a reminder. Here is suggested text along the lines of what I mean: [[ There are four ways an XML document can indicate GRDDL transformations: - Set the grddl:transformation attribute on the root element (see section @@@@). Example: @@example@@ - Specify transformations in the root element namespace document (see section @@@@). Example: @@example@@ - (XHTML only) Use the GRDDL metadata profile and specify transformations in <link> or <a> elements (see section @@@@). Example: @@example@@ - (XHTML only) Specify transformations in a metadata profile document (see section @@@@). Example: @@example@@ ]] 2. I think it is important that we do have an example of namespace transformations in the primer. It may be possible to change the Health Care example to use namespace transformations: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/doc29/primer.html#hl7 However, I notice that the root namespace is a URN instead of an http URI. :( Would it be a problem to wrap the <clinicalDocument> element inside a new root element with a different namespace? Do others have other ideas? My main concern is that I think it's important to illustrate each of the four GRDDL mechanisms.
