Hmm, I think in terms of manual editing Richard has made very good points and I've so far not really seen good arguments for XML beside the above (which is, I think, not the strongest one ;) > However, as Ashok said, if we have more than one syntax we should also > have tools to translate from one syntax to another. That's easy. If we have Turtle as syntax (which I do prefer due to many reasons, most of them already covered by Richard), then I'd claim that any RDF processor out there can immediately turn it into RDF/XML :) Cheers, Michael -- Dr. Michael Hausenblas LiDRC - Linked Data Research Centre DERI - Digital Enterprise Research Institute NUIG - National University of Ireland, Galway Ireland, Europe Tel. +353 91 495730 http://linkeddata.deri.ie/ http://sw-app.org/about.html > From: Souri Das <Souripriya.Das@oracle.com> > Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:01:46 -0400 > To: RDB2RDF WG <public-rdb2rdf-wg@w3.org> > Subject: Re: The syntax issue > Resent-From: RDB2RDF WG <public-rdb2rdf-wg@w3.org> > Resent-Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:02:36 +0000 > > I have not had time to carefully go thru Richard's justifications for > RDF serialization yet, but I think RDF serialization may be needed. > But, we should also consider having an XML syntax just b/c of its > popularity and widespread familiarity. > However, as Ashok said, if we have more than one syntax we should also > have tools to translate from one syntax to another. > > Thanks, > - Souri. > > ashok malhotra wrote: >> If we are arguing syntax then we are done :-) >> >> If we end up with more than one syntax it would be good if it was >> possible >> to automatically translate from one syntax to the other. >> All the best, Ashok >> >> >> Michael Hausenblas wrote: >>>> I propose to proceed based on the concepts of Souri's approach, but >>>> with an RDF serialization instead of XML as the surface syntax. >>>> >>> >>> +1 >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Michael >>> >>> >> > >
