I'm wondering what the advantages of grit are when compared with simple subsets of RDF/XML than can be used for XSLT transformation, e.g. Morten's R3X [1]. Cheers, reto 1. http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/2004/05/30/transforming-rdfxml-with-xslt (just to allow XSLT the special RSS 1.0 handling can be ignored) 2010/1/17 Niklas Lindström <lindstream@gmail.com>: > Hi all! > > In light of the recent discussions about both using RDF in contexts > where RDF awareness and availability of RDF tools are more limited, > and in relation to the thoughts on RDF/XML (re-)emerging in the "RDF > 2.0" discussion thread [1], I find it timely to document and announce > an instrumental format I recently made, called Grit ("Grokkable RDF Is > Transformable"), at [2]. > > I made this primarily for using XSLT to produce (xhtml) documents from > controlled sets of RDF, e.g. vocabularies and such.
