That's an interesting document. I've read it once but need to digest it a bit further. The crux of the issue, and what I was getting at in this thread is what you refer to towards the end: "It is possible that D2 and S2 can be used side by side by different communities for quite a while before a collision of the sort described above becomes a serious interoperability problem. On the other hand, when the conflict does happen, it will be very painful." I think what I'm interested in is what problems might surface and approaches for mitigating them. I'm particularly curious whether heuristics might be used to disambiguate or remove conflict. >> As a leading question: does anyone know of any deployed semantic web >> software that will reject or incorrectly process data that flagrantly >> ignores httprange-14? > > Tabulator. Yes. That's the only piece of software I've heard of that has problems. -- Leigh Dodds Product Lead, Kasabi Mobile: 07850 928381 http://kasabi.com http://talis.com Talis Systems Ltd 43 Temple Row Birmingham B2 5LS
