I thought it might be helpful to sketch out the goals and audience for each of the RDFCore documents to provide some context for discussion of the new document. This is a strawman; I haven't discussed this with the various editors. Primer ====== Goals: o provide introductory material for newbies o Explain how to use RDF(S) Primary Audience: everyone RDF/XML Syntax ============== Goals: o A specification of the RDF/XML language o A specification of the meaning of RDF/XML in terms of a translation to the graph syntax, as represented in n-triples. Primary Audience: o Parser writers o developers of applications that write RDF/XML o users who write RDF/XML by hand RDF Data Model ============== Goals: o A specification of the RDF graph syntax and graph equality o A specification statements are assertions Primary Audience: o tool developers o RDF application developers o RDF writers o Vocabulary developers RDF Schema ========== Goals: o A specification of RDF Schema vocabulary o A specification of miscellaneous bits of the RDF vocabulary from M&S Audience: o tool developers o RDF application developers o RDF writers o Vocabulary developers RDF Semantics ============= o A formal specification of the semantics of the RDF and RDFS languages Primary Audience: o designers of formal languages based on RDF RDF Datatypes ============= Goals: o A specification of how to represent typed data values in RDF Primary Audience: o tool developers o application developers o vocabulary developers o rdf writers RDF Test Cases ============== Goals: o to capture examples illustrating decisions of the WG Primary Audience: o tool developers
