Re: Industrial user community of RDF?

Hi Deiter,

RDF has been adopted in the US electric power industry for exchanging power
system models between system operators.  (See
http://www.langdale.com.au/XMLCIM.html for some pointers.)   The industry
body (NERC) requires utilities to use RDF together with schema called EPRI
CIM.

Last week some of the software vendors in the industry (including most major
vendors) met in Orlando and performed interoperability testing. The tests
involved generating, exchanging and interpreting RDF models.    I will
forward the press release about this to anyone who is interested.

Regards,
Arnold
