Hi all, We've been working on a major overhaul of the R2RML spec: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/ This overhaul has *NOT* changed the *R2RML language*. It has only changed the way the language is described and presented. Some highlights: Section 2, R2RML Overview and Example (Informative) http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/#overview Section 7, Creating RDF Terms with Term Maps http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/#term-map (term maps are now centrally defined, removing duplication from the text) Section 10, The Output Dataset http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/#generated-rdf (an attempt at a precise, semi-formal definition of R2RML) Please have a look *at least* at the new TOC ;-) The goals in this overhaul were: - gentler introduction with a simple example early on - flatter structure of the TOC - less duplication in the definitions of properties - more precision thanks to copious use of terminology definitions and cross references - make structure of document more narrative, less reference-style The overall result is shorter, and hopefully more precise. There was a lot of churn, so I'm sure that new errors have crept in. We'll try to weed these out ASAP. This would be a good time for you to give the document another read and review. Also, every MUST, MAY and SHOULD in this document wants to have a test case ;-) Best, Richard
