The voices asking for a common RDF API has been getting stronger... I got a proposal to separate the RDF API used in GINF [1] from the upcoming GINF distribution and to release it under the W3C namespace. I have the following structure in mind: org.w3c.rdf org.w3c.rdf.util org.w3c.rdf.impl org.w3c.rdf.sirpac org.w3c.rdf =========== interface RDFNode interface Literal interface Resource interface Triple interface Model interface VirtualModel interface SchemaModel interface SchemaLoader interface SchemaRegistry interface RDFMS interface RDFFactory org.w3c.rdf.util ================ some generally useful utilities like RDFReader org.w3c.rdf.impl ================ the default implementations of all interfaces org.w3c.rdf.sirpac ================== the particular RDF parser I'm thinking of migrating the above code into org.w3c.rdf, packaging it and releasing for public comments. I've been using the GINF RDF API for about 1/2 year for rather sophisticated RDF manipulation. I believe it is stable enough to serve as a starting point for the discussion. The version I'm using now differs from the latest publicly available GINF release in some ways. If there are no strong objections (DanB?), I'll proceed and send a notice when I'm done with repackaging. Comments on the package structure are warmly welcome.
