I know we're trying to structure the problems space, and not the specs, but as an RDF developer here's how I'd imagine seeing things: RDF Primer An introduction into RDF's view of Web Architecture as well as the basic concepts of RDF with lots of examples. - URIs and Resources - XML and Namespaces - Overview of RDF and basic Semantic Web vision - Basic RDF Abstract Syntax Concepts - Basics of RDF/N3 and RDF/XML RDF Abstract Syntax Definitions of basic RDF concepts: - Triple - Anonymity - etc. Definition of RDF's abstract syntax and base semantics. RDF Schema Basic RDF concepts and their semantics: - Containers - Reification - Housekeeping (label, description, etc.) - Ontology (Property, Class - Datatypes, Literals, etc. RDF/XML Syntax Syntax defined in a series of subsets of full syntax*: - Basic Syntax: Simple description and property syntax. - Abbreviated Basic Syntax: Add nesting and some more advanced things. - Attribute Syntax: Introduces propAttrs. - Full Syntax: Full RDF 1.0 Syntax (and beyond?) RDF/Notation3 Syntax Syntax defined in a series of subsets of full syntax*: - N-Triples Syntax - Basic N3: Includes the stable portions of N3 with clear translations to the RDF Abstract Syntax. - Full N3 (?): Includes all features of N3. * Parsers should be free to only implement a certain subset of the syntax as long as they make this clear. -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
