Re: [DP.AG.Tech] Re: RDF tools?

Hi Aerik -

CCing this to the SW list as well - options for event times and geo 
locations are:

http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfcal/
http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/

http://schemaweb.info is a useful resource for finding terms...

What other kind of concepts are you looking for?

Thanks,

John.
