The RDF work went public in Oct 1997. A lot has happened since then... Definitely we've done a lot of hacker-grade stuff in the meantime. But tools for going mainstream are getting overdue! Even tools for developers: eg. regular Redland builds on Windows; a solid packaged Ruby library, etc. Re tools for publishing, given the fiddlyness of doing RDF right, my vote is for everything that allows tools on one site to post RDF into another. I've suggested before that AtomPub + OAuth would be a plausible starting point, but I'm open to suggestions. Re non-geeks, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ is a must-watch... cheers, DanReceived on Friday, 10 July 2009 10:33:47 UTC
