I guess that is 'serialization', eh? No no. You can serialize an rdf graph into any number of different xml/rdf documents. When you crystalize it, you force a particular structure on the rdf serialization. So for example in the RSS 1.1 case you force the document to start with the <Channel> element, specify that it can contain <title>, <lint>, <items>..., and specify that <items> contain <item>s which contains <title>,<link>, ... elements. You do this using a Relax-NG schema. see the RSS1.1 spec for a good example of this: http://inamidst.com/rss1.1/ Henry > Jan > > >> Henry >> >> >> >> Home page: http://bblfish.net/ >> Sun Blog: http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/ >> Foaf name: http://bblfish.net/people/henry/card#me >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Jan Algermissen > http://jalgermissen.com > Software Architect > http://www.tugboat.de
