I personally agree, but what does this help? I am in the process of developing an RDF parser (really the best way to learn the syntax ;-) and I tend to implement the 'distribution in both directions'. Then there will be at least four parsers that behave differently. (I already tried SiRPAC,pro-solutions and SWI-Prolog) ... There has been a lot of discussion on this list about the RDF syntax. Is there any clarification in sight whether there will be a more formalized description of the syntax or even a simplified one? (Or will nothing happen in the near future?) This would decrease the number of mails on this list and we could focus on the interesting parts of RDF .... Greetings, Stefan
