I am not at all sure that there’s a single useful XML representation of any given RDF graph, let alone of RDF graphs in general. For sure there were better attempts than RDF/XML, ones that did not confuse XML namespaces (the syntax layer) with naming authorities (the semantic layer). The XML Information Set has individual characters represented, rather than strings, which makes querying rather more complex than it could be. It might be that a serialization option from XDM instances to RDF could be defined. In general it’s not always easy to see how to go from RDF to XML (for example, what to do if RDF property names or values contain non-XML characters such as NUL) but i think it's definable if one does not require a stable round trip to produce the same XML each time. So in that case, maybe RDF (JSON-LD?) could be added to serialization. How widely do you think it would be used? Maybe it would be better done in the expath group? best, liam -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
