(The kind of data-heavy material Ying Ding has produced would be an ideal candidate for expression in a data-oriented form). > Sorry (for grumpy sounding comment), but PDFs really get under my skin as > sole mechanism for transmitting data when conversation is about the Semantic > Web Project etc.. Sadly, this realm is rife with PDF as sole information > delivery mechanism, even when the conversation is actually about the "Web" > (a medium not constructed around Linked PDF documents). Again, absolutely (and it annoys the tits off me too) - not only pdf but also ps, and in the odd strange case MS doc format. Alas it seems academia is largely slow on the uptake when it comes to publication. I'm sure this is just as frustrating for the individual that wishes to be published as the rest-of-the-world that wants their information. But then again, we still have printed matter...
