First, I couldn't find any comprehensive document describing the entire iCalendar ontology in RDF. Secondly, my foremost concern was vCard; iCalendar is of interest to me only in the future. Mostly importantly is that I decided, because I was creating a specification based upon the interrelation among directory, vCard, and iCalendar (and this doesn't seem to have been done before), I might as well create it from scratch the way (I think) it should be done, and then compare notes---which is what I'm doing now. Taking this comprehensive approach has been productive. For example, although iCalendar calls PERIOD a specialized value type (for which normally one would create a typed literal), I've found that it is better modeled as an RDF class on its own, allowing the icalendar:duration property to re-use the iCalendar duration datatype. Another benefit has been the recognition that UTC-OFFSET is inconsistent between vCard and iCalendar; I've chosen the vCard syntax, as it more closely follows xsd:dateTime. > Also, are you familiar with the change policy > for the http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal namespace? > I had seen that section before; why? By the way, where is this iCalendar schema that I keep seeing mention of? Garret
