Hi team, I've just come across an open source database aimed at the library community called OpenIsis. http://openisis.org/Doc/ http://openisis.org/Doc/IsisIntro As I mentioned before, in my discussion with MacKenzie it became apparent that the library community has been using hierarchical databases rather than relational databases for some time, and hierarchical databases have a lot in common with XML databases. There's a bit of a discussion of this here http://openisis.org/Doc/xmlisis Now they are clearly interested in RDF as they give an RDF example; unfortunately its wrong - you don't want the rdf:parseType attribute in the data model, that's purely an element of the RDF/XML syntax. best regards, Dr Mark H.
