Hello all, Anyone working on both JavaScript and RDF-related applications might be interested in RDFj, a set of conventions for encoding RDF objects in JSON. Its goals are not quite the same as RDF/JSON, which aims to do things the other way round, i.e., provide an RDF serialisation in JSON. However, it could be used in the same way, and aims to be more compact. >From my blog post: Essentially, what we've done with RDFj is to map JSON to RDF -- with a few extra tweaks thrown in -- rather than simply mapping RDF to JSON. (RDFa took the same approach, starting with HTML, and then working out what RDF various patterns might represent.) There are of course many uses for the straightforward serialisation approach, taken by RDF/JSON. But we're finding that as our applications increasingly use both JavaScript and RDF, it's very useful to blur the lines between the two. RDFj takes us an important step towards that. The full post outlining the motivation for the format, and ongoing links to the details, are here: <http://bit.ly/WwvwQ> Regards, Mark -- Mark Birbeck, webBackplane mark.birbeck@webBackplane.com http://webBackplane.com/mark-birbeck webBackplane is a trading name of Backplane Ltd.
