Re: Mad idea: Programming language based on RDF

Seems like everybody is realizing to do now what was similarly proposed (by
many) for a very long time till now. The 'Data Web' or 'Web of Data' in a
'functional' approach.

To realize that a framework (RDF, for example) is capable of giving shape
of knowledge structures (schema and instances of data, information and
knowledge in the form of executable behavior) is like realizing that a C++
source file in another framework (UTF-8 encoded text file for example)
could be compiled and 'executed'.

Please see the following posts:

It doesn't matter the 'framework' (i.e.: encoding). It's a matter of models
(of models..., ASTs, XSLT trees, etc) and how you 'read' them to produce
I/O (for example with parsers and compilers and, later, execution of those
models) being XSLT as a great example of a Turing complete language (which
is XML based as RDF). The 'meaning' of 'code' or 'data' is only based on
its context.

It's encouraging the community is finally taking directions like this.
Otherwise SW would have ended being other 'dead' serialization mechanism.
And I've always shared my thoughts in this direction. Maybe my proposals
have not been as 'academic' as some others. But faithfully this final
'disclosure' by peers of the potential of what a 'Web of Data' may be
enables true collaboration in the field.

My collaboration and if all the material I've posted is whortwhile is open
to discussion. But discussing if a piece of 'structured text' as RDF
statements could be parsed or executed is bizantine. Anyone could
'serialize' almost 'anything' in RDF (at least with RDF quads).
