I think RDF may need a bit of a spring-cleaning - and lots of people are using things like Google's gData, Microsoft's oData, and Activity Streams in the Social Web to ship data on the Web, not RDF. Each of these RDF alternatives is based on Atom. So maybe a Atom-based syntax for RDF would be useful? People seem to think it's a bit simpler than RDF/XML. > Jeremy > > >
