RDF Canonicalization

Dear all,

Almost as soon as RDF was first conceived, the issue of a canonical form was raised. When I was on the W3C Team, it was raised repeatedly. So I am delighted to be able to send a quick note to make sure that this WG is aware that the RDF Canonicalization & Hash spec is now a Candidate Rec [1]. As some members of this group will know, there was some back and forth between us regarding the canonical form of n-quads which are not defined in the n-quad spec, although the canonical form of n-triples is in that doc. C'est la vie - a workaround was found.

We are, of course, keen to hear of any implementations and uses of the RCH work as we work towards the next stage in the Rec Track process.

Thanks

Phil
