RE: RDF, OAI, and application within Libraries [2]

[Peter Breton]
It seems to me that at least part of the problem seems to be that RDF is 
format-agnostic 
[wmj]
(1) representation-agnostic
(2) display (aka view) - agnostic
(3) format-agnostic

Are (1), (2) and (3) synonymous in this list?

It seems to me that at least part of the problem seems to be that RDF is 
format-agnostic (RDF is the same whether it's expressed as triples, in a 
visual graph, or in XML serialization -- and there are multiple possible 
XML serializations), whereas the intent of OAI is to be directly 
parsable and usable.

Would a specific OAI-blessed canonical XMLserialization fly, d'you think?
