Could we start a space somewhere to put a draft schema, some data, and perhaps some tools? The little bit of work I have done to date can be found at: http://eikeon.com/2003/glossary http://eikeon.com/2003/02/glossary (the code) > Besides, Pierre has started to look at the various APIs and tools > available to work efficiently with RDF.

Any page summarizing their advantages/problems? I am obviously a bit biased toward RDFLib and Redfoot ;) And Python has a very friendly learning curve. But also think a mixture of toolkits can be effectively used together if one toolkit works better for a certain program than another. I am assuming there glossary work will involve multiple programs... maybe one for scraping terms from non RDF/XML sources, one that aggregates RDF/XML from a number of source, one that can render an html view from some RDF/XML, etc. > Thanks, > > Dom -- Daniel Krech, http://eikeon.com/ Redfoot.net, http://redfoot.net/ RDFLib.net, http://rdflib.net/
