(It's not just me targeting the RDF community. So does the WG charter.) The rationale for including both formats is that Turtle is what many RDF developers are most comfortable using, but RDF/XML is (for now at least) the official recommended interchange format for RDF. Personally, I wouldn't mind a spec that only mentioned Turtle, but when I've had such discussions in the past in standards groups, there has been a strong desire to also include example using the standard RDF/XML format. >>> If we want some take up by the XML community, we should have proper XML >>> examples, with corresponding XML schemas. >> >> I don't see sufficient value in this, given the provenance aware applications >> are likely to deal with RDF anyway (per charter), and the JSON option provides >> ease of use.

Yes, but it also targets XML developers. Reflecting on this, I am inclined to *reduce* the examples given in the text to only JSON, then add any other examples, including XML, in an appendix. #g --
