Hello! Personally I have been looking for such an RDF API spec when I started off with RDFStore [1], and at that time I ended up using the great work of Sergey Melnik. Today we have a larger and richer set of RDF API implementations (and understanding), and I also personally feel the need to converge, and sit down and try to specify such a document. A list of requirements could be the following: - specified using IDL interfaces - bindings into the major languages (Java, Phyton, Perl, C, C++, C# and so on) - layered - e.g. core, parsing, storing, querying, services and protocols - support either statement and resource centric views - be event based - must support signatures, digests - possibly have a SOAP interface - be easy to use and understand for the programmer I much more in favor of an open discussion over this list. my 2 lire :-) Alberto [1] http://xml.jrc.it/RDFStore
