I'm not aware of a ToC for the Primer but this information seems like this would be a good addition. A few suggestions below. Art --- o The RDF/XML code has a bug in the RDF namespace declaration. It should be: <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> not: <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/rdf-syntax-ns#"> As is, it generates 0 triples. [It would also be very nice if the code fragment had a URI so it could easily be dropped into a RDF validator.] o The numbers in the genids:* strings for the table and ntriples are not in sync and really should be to avoid confustion. [This probably occured because the RDF fed to the RDF Validator twice and thus the different genid.] o I would explicitly highlight that a default namespace declaration is being used thus the element names are not namespace-qualified in this example. The point being that all XML elements must have a namespace [explicit or implicit]. Likewise, every attribute in RDF/XML must have a namespace. o I think I would add some text about what the rdf:type properties are and why they are added to the triples.
