Hi Sergey,

Thanks Dan, I look forward to hearing about the options. IMO a W3C Note
would be enough (I don't like politics). As to syntax: XLink may be a
viable alternative. Can anyone XLink-aware come up with a simple example
showing RDF/XLink serialization?
Sergey
Didier replies:
You bet. Here it is:
<myElement xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="your resource link here">
<dc:description>your description</dc:description>
<dc:author>the author here</dc:author>
etc....
</myElement>
So, in the example above we have a link containing meta information about
the resource it points to. In fact, for e-commerce, content syndication and
several other applications, this kind of conctruct is very very useful.
Let's call this a semantic link ;-)
Cheers
