Alberto, A good proposal - a comment on your first requirement: >... > > A list of requirements could be the following: > > - specified using IDL interfaces >... There are two approaches to defining API's. One is to define a language independent API in an IDL and have multiple language bindings. This is the approach taken by DOM. The other is to have a common programming model then define an API for each language that best represents that model in that language. This is what JDom has done for Java and is the basis for the approach I took with Jena. I would like to suggest that the latter approach also be considered. Brian
