If there is already a draft XML syntax under development, you may want to compare and contrast that in the beginning, but pick one for the document for now (i.e. probably Turtle). - If possible, explain what string literals have "special" meaning (i.e. SQL column, column name in database") etc. outside of just being normal strings. Explain that if those are not accepted, an error will result > > Again, thanks a lot dear editors - great job so far and now let's get the > stuff out! :) > > Cheers, > Michael > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/ > [2] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/use-cases/ > [3] http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual/ > > -- > 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 > > > >
