Re: RDFa and RDF

Max,

At IBM we have been doing some work in the area and we are exploring
possible answers to your questions in Queso [1]

We give access for read/write via an Atom Publishing Protocol endpoint.
The contents are converted using AtomOWL to RDF (i.e. the entire
contents of the Atom entry XML) and if the content is XHTML, we extract
RDF triples encoded in RDFa and make them available as triples.

Yes, XML-elements become XMLLiterals, subjects are URIs??? (not sure
what else it could be) and yes it's working great for SPARQL queries.
